Summary

Virginia Run Elementary is a PK-6 school in Centreville, Virginia, serving 724 students as part of Fairfax County Public Schools — a district that ranks in the 70th percentile statewide. The school has held a consistent 2-star rating for the past several years, ranking in the 41st percentile of Virginia elementary schools in 2025-2026.

Virginia Run's test scores, particularly in 5th grade reading and math, tend to run below the Fairfax County average — for example, 5th grade reading hit 65% proficiency versus the district's 77% in the most recent year. However, the school shows some bright spots: 3rd grade math and 4th grade reading have been at or above district averages in recent years. The school sits mid-pack among nearby schools: Poplar Tree Elementary (96th percentile) and Cardinal Ridge Elementary (90th percentile) significantly outperform it, while Centre Ridge Elementary (18th percentile) and Sudley Elementary (17th percentile) trail behind. Notably, Deer Park Elementary — just 0.82 miles away with a similar poverty rate — ranks nine points higher on statewide comparisons.

The school serves a moderately economically diverse population, with 41.3% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. Attendance is a genuine strength, with chronic absenteeism (10.4%) below the district and state averages. Virginia Run's challenges may partly stem from resources: it has the highest student-teacher ratio (15.8) among nearby schools and spends about $12,348 per student, less than neighboring schools with similar demographics. While academic outcomes for economically disadvantaged students, English Language Learners, and Hispanic students remain below state averages, the school has shown positive movement for ELL students (23rd to 36th percentile) and low-income students (11th to 20th percentile) over the past three years.
