Summary
Oak View Elementary is a PK–6 school in Fairfax, Virginia, serving 776 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school holds a 4-star rating and ranks 261st out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 77th percentile statewide. Academically, it is solidly above average: in 2025–2026, Oak View exceeded both FCPS and Virginia state averages in nearly every SOL subject, with roughly 80% proficiency in math and 84% in English reading across grades 3–6. Fifth-grade science was also strong at 80.99% proficient, versus 68.75% statewide.
Within a roughly 2.5-mile radius, Oak View sits in the upper-middle tier of a competitive cluster of FCPS elementary schools. Five nearby schools rank higher — Canterbury Woods, Fairview, Terra Centre, Laurel Ridge, and Olde Creek — while five rank lower, including Fairfax Villa, Little Run, Bonnie Brae, Daniels Run, and Providence. Reading is the school's clearest strength, with 6th-grade reading proficiency reaching 90.54%. The one red flag is 5th-grade math: proficiency fell to 68.75%, below the Virginia state average of 72.39% and a sharp drop from the prior year's 84.76%. Oak View also has a very low poverty rate (10.95% free/reduced-price lunch) and low chronic absenteeism (8.7%), closely matching high-performing neighbors like Fairview and Laurel Ridge.
Oak View also gets strong results with comparatively fewer resources. It spends about $10,242 per student — among the lowest of nearby schools — and has the highest student-teacher ratio in the group at 16.5, yet it outperforms several schools that spend more and have smaller classes, including Providence, Little Run, Daniels Run, and Bonnie Brae. Subgroup results are mixed: military-connected students rank in the 90th percentile statewide and female students in the 85th, but Asian students have declined to the 43rd percentile. The school has drifted from a 90th-percentile, 5-star ranking in 2022–2023 to its current very-good standing, but absolute scores remain high — and with targeted attention to math consistency and subgroup support, Oak View has room to rejoin the top tier.
