Summary:

These seven elementary schools in zip code 20105 (Aldie, VA) are all part of Loudoun County Public Schools and serve roughly 4,734 students across pre-kindergarten through fifth grade, with six reporting SOL test data. The group is high-achieving: average SOL proficiency across the six tested schools is 86.3%, versus 80.9% for the district and 71.6% for the state, so even the lowest-ranked school, Arcola Elementary (73rd percentile), beats the Virginia state average in every subject. Notably, Hovatter Elementary (grades 3–5) and Henrietta Lacks Elementary (PK–2) sit a few doors apart on Collaboration Drive and appear to function as a split-campus pair, together covering the full PK–5 span with 1,590 students.

Hovatter Elementary is the current standout, ranking #70 in Virginia (94th percentile, 5 stars) with an 89.9% average SOL proficiency, the lowest free/reduced lunch rate in the zip (3.7%), and a three-year climb from #205 to #98 to #70. Aldie Elementary is a small-school powerhouse: with just 90 students, an 8:1 student-teacher ratio, and 2.1% chronic absenteeism, it ranks #102 overall after posting top-15 finishes the previous two years. Goshen Post Elementary (rank #135) and Pinebrook Elementary (rank #167) round out the top tier, with Pinebrook achieving strong results despite a 21.9% free/reduced lunch rate. Buffalo Trail Elementary (rank #247) and Arcola (rank #297) are the lower-performing schools, yet both remain above state averages in every subject.

Several patterns stand out. Chronic absenteeism tracks closely with performance: Arcola (16.9%) and Buffalo Trail (15.5%) have the highest rates and lowest rankings, while top schools stay at or below 10.3%. Higher poverty does not always mean lower scores — Aldie and Arcola both have roughly 24% free/reduced lunch eligibility, yet Aldie ranks nearly 200 spots higher. Spending also does not predict outcomes: Hovatter, the top-ranked school, spends the least ($14,696 per student) while Aldie spends the most ($30,326). Finally, 3rd-grade math is the strongest subject (90% average proficiency), while 5th-grade science is the clearest area for growth at 81.1% — still above the state's 68.75%.
