Summary

Sunrise Valley Elementary is a PK-6 school in Reston, Virginia, serving 558 students in Fairfax County Public Schools, and earned a 5-star rating with a statewide rank of 85th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (92nd percentile). The school sits in the upper tier of its immediate region, behind only elite Wolftrap Elementary (#6) and Colvin Run Elementary (#9), while outranking Fox Mill Elementary (#123), Crossfield Elementary (#132), and Hunters Woods Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences (#165), and sitting far above Terraset Elementary (#498), Lake Anne Elementary (#784), and Dogwood Elementary (#1,046).

Academically, SOL test scores are consistently well above district and state averages. In 2025-2026, math proficiency ranged from 83.3% to 90.5% across grades 3-6, reading proficiency reached 81.1% in 3rd grade and climbed to 94-95% in 4th through 6th grades, and 5th-grade science came in at 87.8%. For context, district reading proficiency ranges from 72.5% to 80.4%, and state reading ranges from 67.6% to 73.7%. The school's 6th-grade reading proficiency of 95.3% is roughly 15 points above the district and 22 points above the state. The one relative soft spot is 3rd-grade reading at 81.1% — still above district and state averages, but noticeably lower than the school's own later-grade reading scores.

Attendance is a quiet advantage: the chronic absenteeism rate was just 8.0% in 2024-2025, about half the state average of 14.8% and well below the district's 11.9%. With 15.8% of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch, Sunrise Valley has a moderate poverty rate, yet its results are much closer to very low-poverty schools like Wolftrap and Colvin Run than to higher-poverty neighbors. The school also posts strong outcomes across student subgroups, including low-income students (89th percentile) and female students (93rd percentile), at a moderate per-student cost of $12,241 — lower than several lower-performing schools nearby. The clearest area of decline is outcomes for disabled students, which fell from the 87th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 70th percentile in 2025-2026, though this remains above the statewide median. Overall, Sunrise Valley is a high-performing, well-rounded school with a positive recent trajectory.
