Summary

Deer Park Elementary is a PK–6 school in Centreville, VA, serving 522 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school's 2025-26 state ranking places it at the 50th percentile of Virginia elementary schools—a 3-star rating and its best showing in available data, up from the 26th percentile in 2018-19. Deer Park Elementary now outperforms nearby Virginia Run Elementary (41st percentile) and London Towne Elementary (33rd percentile), while sitting just behind Cub Run Elementary (54th) and Bull Run Elementary (59th), and well behind top performers like Poplar Tree Elementary (96th) and Centreville Elementary (67th).

Deer Park invests heavily in its students: per-pupil spending reached $15,494 in 2023-24, and the student-teacher ratio of 12.8:1 is among the lowest in the area—roughly $3,000 more per student than Centreville Elementary, which serves a nearly identical student population yet outperforms Deer Park in most subjects. Still, the school is clearly improving. Third-grade reading proficiency jumped from 50% in 2023-24 to nearly 70% in 2025-26, with similar gains in math. Asian students and English Language Learners have made dramatic strides, with both groups improving roughly 30 or more percentile points in a single year.

The biggest opportunities for improvement are clear. Chronic absenteeism runs at 12.8%—higher than Powell Elementary (7.1%), Centreville Elementary (8.7%), and the district average of 11.9%—which may help explain why 5th grade reading (68.1%) and science (66.7%) lag behind district averages. White and low-income students are also performing well below their statewide peers, a gap the school has yet to close. With strong resources and proven recent momentum, Deer Park is well positioned to climb into the top third of Virginia elementary schools—if it can address attendance and the 5th-grade slide.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, September 13, 2017

The school has declined significantly and use to be a top rated school. We ultimately had to pull our children because of systematic failure and place them in private school at considerable expense and hardship to my family. This school fights to not implement IEPs by providing questionable testing, testing results and testing conclusions. These results are easily refuted by outside testing by professionals but ignored by the Deerpark IEP panel. You will get the "your child is average" and no services warranted. But you know better as a parent. Good luck. Close Quote

Need to pay attention to the needs of each individual student and not be so focused on getting parent volunteers that are invading the class room. Close Quote
