The school ranks #9 out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for 2025-2026, placing it in the 99th percentile with a 5-star rating. This is no one-year fluke: Colvin Run has earned 5 stars every year since 2015-2016 and has never slipped below the 94th percentile. The school serves a highly advantaged community, with a free/reduced lunch rate of just 2.93% and a student-teacher ratio of 14.5 to 1.

Reading is a signature strength, climbing from 89.81% proficiency in 3rd grade to 99.19% in 6th grade—meaning nearly every student is reading at grade level by the time they leave. Math is equally impressive, with 3rd, 4th, and 6th graders all above 93% proficiency and 6th-grade Algebra I students at 100%. Even 5th-grade math, the school's relative soft spot at 92.06%, towers over the state average of 72.39%. Colvin Run also posts excellent outcomes for students with disabilities, ranking #7 in Virginia for that subgroup.

Among its immediate neighbors, Colvin Run Elementary is in elite company—only Wolftrap Elementary ranks higher locally, at #6 statewide.

For parents seeking a consistently elite elementary school in Northern Virginia, Colvin Run is among the very best options.
