Summary:
Zip code 20132 in Purcellville, Virginia is served by Loudoun County Public Schools, a 4-star district ranked 18th out of 131 in Virginia, and includes 6 schools: three elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and one alternative school, enrolling a total of 4,076 students. The area is relatively affluent, with free/reduced lunch eligibility ranging from just 8.8% to 17.1% across schools, and every school in the zip code posts chronic absenteeism rates below district and state averages.
Lincoln Elementary is the standout performer, ranked 16th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (99th percentile, 5 stars) with multiple 100% SOL proficiency scores, though its small enrollment of 91 students drives the highest per-student spending at $30,795. Emerick Elementary is nearly as elite at 26th overall, posting a 93.4% average SOL proficiency while spending the least per student among elementary schools ($18,782) and holding the area's lowest chronic absenteeism at 4.1%. At the secondary level, Loudoun Valley High ranks 34th out of 331 high schools with a 98.9% graduation rate, while Woodgrove High — despite its "alternative" label — graduates 98.5% of students and achieves Chemistry proficiency of 92.3%, far above the state's 60.8%.
The few areas worth watching are Blue Ridge Middle's 6th-grade math (57.7% proficient, below the state), Loudoun Valley High's 12th-grade reading (54.5%) and Chemistry (70%), and Hillsboro Charter Academy's 3rd-grade reading (73.9%). However, these are minor blemishes in an otherwise exceptional cluster: both high schools far exceed state graduation averages, most rankings are stable or improving, and both secondary schools in the area place students in accelerated math courses with near-perfect proficiency. For parents, zip code 20132 offers an unusually strong set of choices, from the elite small-school results at Lincoln and Emerick to the comprehensive secondary success at Loudoun Valley and Woodgrove.
