Summary

Situated in Lorton, VA, Lorton Station Elementary serves 745 students in grades PK-6 as part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a Virginia district ranked in the top third statewide. The school itself ranked 657th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025-2026 (41st percentile), a meaningful improvement from the 26th percentile in 2024-2025 and the 20th percentile in 2023-2024, placing it near the top of its historical range over the past decade.

One of the most defining characteristics of Lorton Station is its student demographics. The free/reduced lunch rate reached 70.2% in 2024-2025, up from 64.7% the year before — dramatically higher than nearby Silverbrook Elementary (8.1%) and Island Creek Elementary (14.1%), and more comparable to Prince William County Public Schools like Belmont Elementary (71.1%) and Occoquan Elementary (69.9%). Chronic absenteeism is also elevated at 17.7%, compared to 11.9% districtwide. Academically, the school trails the district average in nearly every subject, with the largest gaps in mathematics.

The most encouraging news is the broad-based improvement across student subgroups. African American students rose from the 27th to the 56th percentile, English Language Learners from the 15th to the 63rd percentile, and female students from the 24th to the 52nd percentile. The clearest academic red flag is math proficiency dropping from 75% in 4th grade to just 50% in 6th grade — roughly 19 points below the district average. Spending is not the differentiator, as Lorton Station invests $12,173 per student, in line with neighboring schools. The bottom line: Lorton Station remains below the Virginia average overall, but its trajectory is moving in the right direction, and reducing chronic absenteeism while strengthening upper-grade math could accelerate progress.
