Summary

North Springfield Elementary is a PK–5 school in Springfield, VA, serving 465 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. After a difficult stretch in the early 2020s, the school has staged a remarkable academic turnaround, climbing from the 16th percentile statewide in 2023–24 to the 56th percentile in 2025–26 — a three-star rating that places it squarely in the middle of Virginia elementary schools.

North Springfield stands out among its neighbors for both resources and results. It spends $16,757 per student — more than any nearby school in this comparison — and has a 9.9:1 student–teacher ratio, the lowest in the local cluster. That investment appears to be paying off. Third-grade math proficiency jumped from 56% to 80% in two years, and 5th-grade science went from 39% to 74%. The improvement is broad-based: every student subgroup now ranks at or above the 48th percentile statewide, a dramatic shift from 2023–24 when most subgroups sat in the bottom quartile. Chronic absenteeism has also fallen from 20.4% to 10.9%, now below both the district and state averages.

This is especially notable given that 54.4% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — a far higher rate than nearby higher-performing schools like Keene Mill (20.5% FRPL) or West Springfield (13.4% FRPL). Yet North Springfield's overall proficiency of about 74% now nearly matches the district average of 75% and exceeds the statewide average. Meanwhile, similar high-poverty neighbors like Lynbrook and Annandale Terrace remain in the bottom tenth of the state. In the local landscape, North Springfield sits in the middle — below top performers like Ravensworth and Cardinal Forest but clearly moving upward while Garfield, Braddock, and Crestwood remain stuck at the bottom. Grade-level soft spots exist — 4th-grade math and 5th-grade reading trail district averages — but the trajectory is clearly upward. For parents, North Springfield looks like a school converting strong resources into real academic gains.

All the teacher wanted to talk about teaching diversity and being kids being able "to express themselves" than grades. I had to keep asking how she was doing academically. I never know what the grades are until the report card comes out. No homework--ever. Child learning the same identical thing she learned in school last year (we moved from a different state). Very lack on bullying...they address it but with the kids speaking to each other and the bully is supposed to apologize. Even with physical hitting, no punishment is given. Teachers are nice and I can always reach them with problems but I think the focus on learning has got to get better. Close Quote

The administration is fantastic. I love my daughter's teachers, and currently I am impressed that there is an emphasis on raising a socially contentious and curious learners rather than on test scores. Close Quote
