Summary

Leesburg Elementary is a PK–5 school in Leesburg, Virginia, serving 428 students within Loudoun County Public Schools, a strong district that ranks 18th out of 131 Virginia divisions. The school itself, however, is a mid-to-lower performer within that district: it ranked 641st out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025–2026, putting it in the 42nd percentile statewide. That's an improvement from the 30th percentile the year before, but still below its 52nd percentile ranking in 2023–2024 — a pattern of volatility rather than steady gains. Nearly 48% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher share than most neighboring elementary schools.

The clearest academic red flag is 4th grade math. Only 61.2% of Leesburg 4th graders passed the math SOL in 2025–2026, versus 81.7% districtwide and 73.3% statewide. It's also a persistent problem — scores have slipped three years in a row, from 65.1% to 63.2% to 61.2%. Nearby schools with similar poverty levels do better: Richard and Mildred Loving Elementary posts 75% and Frederick Douglass Elementary posts 75.3%. Chronic absenteeism is another worry, jumping from 12.0% to 19.5% in a single year — well above the district's 14.1%. English Learner and low-income students at Leesburg rank in the 12th and 13th percentiles statewide, highlighting large equity gaps that weigh heavily on the school's overall results.

There are bright spots. Fifth grade is a relative strength: 76.9% of 5th graders passed reading, above the state average and within 4 points of the district, and 5th grade math also topped the state. The 2025–2026 school year brought broad gains across most subjects. The school is also exceptionally well-resourced, spending $23,232 per student — more than nearly every nearby school — and maintaining a low 10.1 student-teacher ratio. The question is whether those resources can finally translate into sustained improvement, especially in 4th grade math and for students affected by chronic absenteeism. If recent momentum holds, Leesburg could rewrite that narrative.
