Summary

Vienna Elementary is a small, high-performing school in Vienna, Virginia, serving 357 students in grades PK–6 as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. It ranked 64th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025–2026 (94th percentile, 5 stars), and its most remarkable achievement is a 2nd-place statewide ranking for academic performance among students with disabilities—a 100th-percentile result that sets it apart from every nearby comparison school. The school has been consistently strong for a decade, never falling below the 82nd percentile since 2015–2016, though its small size means year-to-year swings can be significant, as seen in a temporary dip to 162nd in 2024–2025 before rebounding to 64th.

Academically, Vienna delivers standout early-grade results: in 2025–2026, 3rd graders hit 100% proficiency in both math and reading, while 4th and 5th graders scored in the low-to-mid 90s across most subjects. The relative weak point is 6th grade, where proficiency drops to about 81% in math and 83% in reading—still above district and state averages, but noticeably lower than earlier grades. By contrast, nearby schools like Wolftrap Elementary (#6) and Flint Hill Elementary (#22) rank higher overall, while Westbriar Elementary, Stenwood Elementary, and Archer Elementary show stronger 6th-grade reading results. Vienna also reports no Algebra I results for 6th graders, meaning it may be less likely than some peers to accelerate students into advanced math.

Vienna benefits from a resource-rich environment: its student-teacher ratio is 12.9, among the lowest in the area, and per-pupil spending of $14,027 is the highest of all nearby schools. The student body is relatively affluent, with a 7.28% free/reduced lunch rate (far below some neighbors like Freedom Hill Elementary at 45.4%) and chronic absenteeism of 8.5%, better than district and state averages. While higher spending doesn't automatically translate to top rankings—Wolftrap spends less but ranks far higher—Vienna's combination of small classes, low poverty, and extraordinary support for students with disabilities points to a genuinely effective school that serves all its students well. It may not be the highest-ranked school in its neighborhood, but it belongs to an exceptional cluster of Fairfax County elementaries and offers a compelling choice for families.
