The school currently holds a 4-star rating and ranks 227th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 80th percentile statewide. That's a solid, above-average performance, though it's a step down from 2020-21, when Creighton's Corner Elementary ranked in the 94th percentile. Students generally score above both district and state averages in math, reading, and science, and the school maintains a strong 13.1 student-teacher ratio.
Where Creighton's Corner stands out most is in how it compares with its immediate neighbors. Legacy Elementary, just 0.58 miles away, ranks 56th in Virginia, and Madison's Trust Elementary, less than a mile away, ranks 31st — both in the top 5 percent. Creighton's Corner also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate among nearby schools at 18.1 percent, compared with roughly 11.6 percent on average for its peers. Reading and Virginia Studies scores trail the top local schools by wide margins; for example, 5th grade reading proficiency was 84.3 percent in 2025-26 versus 95.7 percent at Mill Run Elementary. The school also serves a somewhat more economically diverse population than most of its higher-ranked neighbors, with about 19.9 percent of students eligible for free or reduced lunch.
On the positive side, math and science are genuine strengths: 5th grade science proficiency reached 83.5 percent in 2025-26, well above the state average of 68.8 percent, and math scores also exceed district averages. Spending and class sizes are comparable to neighboring schools, so resources don't appear to be the issue. Instead, attendance stands out as the main concern — chronic absenteeism has run well above district levels for several years. Families considering Creighton's Corner will find a capable school in a very competitive neighborhood, but one where attendance patterns and uneven results across different student groups are worth watching closely.
