Kings Glen Elementary

Public Grades 4-6
Summary

Kings Glen Elementary in Springfield, VA, is a standout Fairfax County Public Schools school serving 476 students in the unique and highly effective grade span of 4th through 6th grade. Located in a well-regarded part of the county, this intermediate school sits within a strong district ranked 39th out of 131 in Virginia, and serves as a primary academic pipeline into the nearby Irving Middle.

Academically, Kings Glen outperforms both the district and state averages in nearly every tested subject and grade level. In 6th grade, math proficiency sits at an impressive 78.18% and reading at 84.80%, creating a massive advantage over neighboring schools that serve the same age group. For context, 6th-grade math proficiency at nearby Glasgow Middle, Holmes Middle, and Poe Middle ranges from just 25% to 29%. The school also boasts remarkably low chronic absenteeism at just 6.9%, far better than the state average of 14.8%, indicating a highly stable and engaged student body.

Kings Glen serves a moderately diverse economic population, with 27.1% of students qualifying for free/reduced-price lunch, yet it spends less per student ($11,915) than many lower-performing high-poverty schools in the area. While math dips slightly as students progress through 5th and 6th grades, and science hovers right at the district average, the school adds significant academic value relative to its spending and demographic profile. The small 4-6 model provides a protective, structured transition that prepares students exceptionally well for the rigor of middle school, making Kings Glen an under-the-radar academic powerhouse and an excellent choice for families looking ahead to Irving Middle.
