Summary

Spring Hill Elementary is a large PK–6 elementary school in McLean, Virginia, serving about 980 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, earning 5-star ratings every year since at least 2015–2016 and placing 40th out of 1,111 schools statewide (96th percentile) in the most recent 2025–2026 cycle. It sits in one of the most academically intense neighborhoods in the state, surrounded by top-10 schools including Wolftrap Elementary, Kent Gardens Elementary, Colvin Run Elementary, and Churchill Road Elementary.

Academically, Spring Hill beats its district averages by wide margins. In 2025–2026, 5th-grade math proficiency was 87.1% versus 66.6% district-wide, and 6th-grade reading reached 93.9% versus 80.4%. Those results sit slightly behind the very top peers—Kent Gardens Elementary and Wolftrap Elementary average roughly 2 to 7 points higher in math and reading—but Spring Hill is comfortably ahead of most neighboring schools, including Westbriar Elementary, Vienna Elementary, and Lemon Road Elementary. The school also shows strong, balanced achievement across all tested grades, with reading proficiency ranging from 89.9% in 3rd grade to 94.1% in 5th grade. Notably, Spring Hill delivers exceptional outcomes for diverse learners: its English Language Learner students ranked 10th statewide (97th percentile), and its students with disabilities ranked 30th (93rd percentile).

Spring Hill also stands out for its efficiency. It is the largest elementary school in the neighborhood yet spends the least per student—$9,255 per pupil in 2023–2024, compared with a peer range of about $9,471 to $14,027—and has the highest student–teacher ratio at 17.0. Its two soft spots are attendance and science. The chronic absenteeism rate of 9.3% is better than the district's 11.9% but higher than top neighbors like Wolftrap Elementary (3.7%) and Sherman Elementary (3.7%). And while 5th-grade science proficiency is a solid 89.2%, that trails Kent Gardens Elementary (97.5%) and Wolftrap Elementary (94.7%). Addressing those two areas could be the key to Spring Hill reclaiming a top-10 ranking.
