Summary

Fox Mill Elementary is a PK-6 school in Herndon, Virginia, serving about 650 students in Fairfax County Public Schools. The school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia, landing in the 89th percentile statewide for 2025-2026 after hitting the 95th percentile the year before. On the most recent SOL assessments, Fox Mill beat both district and state averages in nearly every grade and subject. Its 6th grade results are particularly strong: 88.6% of students passed math and 92.2% passed reading, compared to Fairfax County averages of 69.3% and 80.4%.

Fox Mill is part of a high-performing cluster of schools in the Herndon area that includes Oak Hill Elementary, Crossfield Elementary, and Floris Elementary. All four have poverty rates below 12% and rank in the top 15-25% of Virginia elementary schools. That stands in stark contrast to schools just a short drive away: Dogwood Elementary, Coates Elementary, and Hutchison Elementary each have poverty rates above 70% and rank near the bottom of the state. Fox Mill's chronic absenteeism rate of 10.2% is below the district average of 11.9% and the state average of 14.8%, though Oak Hill does better at 4.9%. The school also spends efficiently, at about $12,526 per student.

There are a few areas worth monitoring. Economically disadvantaged students at Fox Mill saw their statewide ranking fall from the 84th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 60th percentile in 2025-2026, a notable shift in a school where overall performance remains high. Female students also rank lower than male students in statewide comparisons (82nd versus 95th percentile). And while nearby Oak Hill and Floris report 100% proficiency for 6th graders taking Algebra I, Fox Mill does not appear to offer that accelerated math pathway, which may matter for families seeking advanced coursework. Overall, Fox Mill is an excellent school with strong outcomes for most students, but it's worth asking about support for low-income students and advanced math options.
