Summary

Dominion Trail Elementary is a PK–5 elementary school in Ashburn, VA, serving 566 students as part of Loudoun County Public Schools. In 2025-2026, the school ranked 733rd of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools — the 34th percentile with 2 stars — continuing a downward trend from 56th percentile in 2021-2022. Among 10 nearby same-district elementary schools, Dominion Trail is the lowest-ranked; most nearby schools rank in the 52nd–99th percentile. Mill Run Elementary, less than 3 miles away, ranks in the 99th percentile, while Cedar Lane Elementary, just 0.64 miles away, ranks in the 75th.

Academically, Dominion Trail trails its district in nearly every subject. Math proficiency averages about 66% across grades 3–5 versus 82% district-wide; reading averages about 69% versus 79%. The largest gap is 5th grade science, where only 56.2% of students are proficient versus 76.6% for the district. The school also has the highest economic disadvantage rate among nearby schools — 44% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, compared with 10.5% at Mill Run Elementary. Chronic absenteeism is elevated at 17.5% (2024-2025), above the district's 14.1% and the state's 14.8%.

Interestingly, Dominion Trail spends $18,259 per student and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.4) among nearby elementary schools — yet outcomes still lag, suggesting the challenge is less about resources and more about targeted interventions for low-income students, English learners, and chronically absent students. There are some positive signals: 4th grade VA Studies (77.3%) exceeds the state average (70.5%), and Hispanic students improved from the 19th to 38th percentile in one year. Whether targeted support can reverse the declines in math and science and close the gap with neighboring schools remains the key question for families watching this school.
