Summary

Bonnie Brae Elementary serves 718 students in grades PK–6 in Fairfax, VA, as part of Fairfax County Public Schools, where about one in four students qualifies for free or reduced-price lunch. The school holds a 3-star rating and ranked 440th of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025-26, placing it in the 60th percentile — solidly mid-tier, but well behind most schools within a few miles. Nearby Cherry Run, Fairview, Terra Centre, and Laurel Ridge elementary schools all rank in the top 10–15% of the state.

Academically, Bonnie Brae shows a clear split between subjects. Reading is a consistent strength, with every tested grade (3rd through 6th) scoring at or above district and state averages on the 2025-26 SOL tests. Math is more uneven, and 5th grade is the standout concern: just 63% of 5th graders scored proficient, below the state average of 72% and the lowest 5th-grade math score among nearby elementary schools. That said, 6th graders scored above the district in math, and past 6th-grade results were even stronger — a sign the school can teach math well and that the 5th-grade dip may stem from grade-level or cohort factors rather than a school-wide math problem.

Attendance is a clear bright spot. Bonnie Brae's chronic absenteeism rate of 8.5% is well below the county rate of 11.9% and the state rate of 14.8%, and the student-teacher ratio has improved to 12.9. Outcomes vary by student group, though: military-connected students perform exceptionally well, while economically disadvantaged students and students with disabilities score below the school's overall average. For parents, Bonnie Brae is a stable, solidly rated school with strong reading and good attendance — but the 5th-grade math gap and uneven subgroup results are worth asking about, especially if your child needs extra support in math.

Tuesday, April 5, 2016

The school does a great job. It has band and strings programs. It has a computer lab, and each grade goes on field trips. The PTA is involved and does a good job supporting the school. The student body is very diverse with kids from all different backgrounds and nationalities but they all get along well and arrive prepared for the school day. Counselors are available if needed for student needs, whether that is to help them adjust to a new school, deal with problems at home or any other issue. The school is clean, kept under good repair and the staff is motivated. Close Quote
