Summary
Crossfield Elementary is a PK–6 elementary school in Herndon, Virginia, serving 513 students in Fairfax County Public Schools. The school earns a 4-star rating and ranks 132nd out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 88th percentile — for the 2025–2026 school year, its strongest state ranking in available data. Only about 8% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the school spends roughly $12,556 per student with a favorable 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio.
Academically, Crossfield Elementary posts SOL proficiency rates well above both Fairfax County and Virginia state averages in math, reading, and science. Reading is a clear strength, with 4th grade reading at 93% proficient, 6th grade reading at 91.3%, and 5th grade science at 85.3%. The school sits in a cluster of elite elementary schools, ranking 6th among 11 nearby options. Navy Elementary, Waples Mill Elementary, Oak Hill Elementary, Sunrise Valley Elementary, and Fox Mill Elementary all rank higher, but an 88th-percentile rank would make Crossfield the top performer in most areas. Math dips somewhat in grades 5–6 (78.7% and 79% proficient), and unlike some neighbors, Crossfield reports no Algebra I scores for 6th graders — something to consider if accelerated math is a priority.
Crossfield's 12.7:1 student-teacher ratio is among the lowest in the area, suggesting real investment in smaller class sizes. Chronic absenteeism is 10.3% — better than the district's 11.9% and the state's 14.8% — though a few nearby schools post even lower rates, and Crossfield's rate jumped from just 4.7% the prior year. The school has also shown impressive improvement for students with disabilities, climbing from the 39th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 71st percentile in 2025–2026. Overall, Crossfield is a consistent, dependable performer that has never fallen below 4 stars or the 77th percentile since 2015–2016, making it a strong neighborhood choice.
