Summary

Clearview Elementary is a PK–6 school in Herndon, VA, serving about 580 students in Fairfax County Public Schools, a highly ranked Virginia district (4 stars, 70th percentile). The school ranks 700th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, a modest improvement from its 2022–23 low. About 60% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school spends roughly $15,631 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1. One bright spot: chronic absenteeism has dropped from 19.6% to 6.9% in two years, now less than half the state average.

Context matters when evaluating Clearview's rank. The school is the strongest performer in its immediate cluster: nearby Herndon Elementary and Hutchison Elementary rank in the 1st percentile, while several schools in nearby Loudoun County Public Schools—Sully Elementary, Rolling Ridge Elementary, and Guilford Elementary—sit in the 6th–8th percentile range, with Forest Grove Elementary and Sterling Elementary in the 16th and 19th percentiles. These higher-spending schools spend $20,000+ per student yet score 10–20 points lower on state SOL proficiency than Clearview. Against more affluent district peers, Clearview trails: Armstrong Elementary (65th percentile) leads by roughly 10 points in average proficiency, while McNair Upper Elementary (47th percentile) and Dranesville Elementary (43rd percentile) round out the comparison.

Academically, Clearview is strongest in the upper grades: 6th grade math and reading both exceed state averages, and 5th grade reading is above the state norm. The clearest red flag is 4th grade reading, where proficiency runs about 19 points below the district average, with 3rd grade reading not far behind. Outcome gaps between student groups are significant—some groups perform at or near the top tier of Virginia schools, while Hispanic students, English Learners, students from low-income households, and students with disabilities score in the bottom third. Clearview offers a solid foundation in later elementary grades, genuine momentum on attendance, and better results than nearly every school within two miles, but early-grade literacy and these achievement gaps are the key challenges to watch.
