Summary

Sycolin Creek Elementary is a PK–5 public school in Leesburg, Virginia, serving 452 students within Loudoun County Public Schools. The school holds a 5-star rating and ranks 74th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 93rd percentile—a strong rebound from last year's 174th-place ranking. Sycolin Creek Elementary outperforms both the district and state averages on every SOL subject and grade level tested, with especially large advantages in 5th grade science (91.3% proficient), 4th grade math (95.6%), and 3rd grade reading (86.4%).

Families looking at this school will find several notable strengths. Chronic absenteeism is very low at 9.5%, compared with roughly 15% across Virginia, pointing to strong attendance and family engagement. Only about 10% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a lower rate than most neighboring schools. Sycolin Creek also has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.6 and the highest per-pupil spending in the area at $22,023—about 27% higher than Mill Run Elementary and nearly 50% higher than Madison's Trust Elementary, even though those schools rank higher overall.

One defining feature of Sycolin Creek is how well it serves a broad range of learners. It ranks in the 96th percentile for female students, the 92nd percentile for Hispanic students, and the 83rd percentile for disabled students—with Hispanic outcomes improving dramatically over the past two years. The one relative soft spot is 4th grade reading at 83.5% proficiency, which trails Waxpool Elementary, Mill Run Elementary, and Madison's Trust Elementary by roughly 9 to 10 points. Still, with strong attendance, small classes, and consistent academic gains, Sycolin Creek offers a supportive environment for a wide range of students.
