Summary:

The 8 elementary schools in zip code 20147 (Ashburn, VA) serve grades PK–5 and belong to Loudoun County Public Schools, a district ranked 18th out of 131 districts in Virginia. These schools collectively enroll 4,742 students, with an average of about 593 students per school. The largest is Steuart W. Weller Elementary (710 students), while the smallest is Sanders Corner Elementary (503 students). All schools share the same district, so differences in performance reflect school-level factors rather than district-level ones.

The top academic performers are Newton-Lee Elementary (ranked 219th in Virginia, 80th percentile) and Sanders Corner Elementary (243rd, 78th percentile), with average proficiency scores around 84%. Ashburn Elementary was the standout in 2024–25 when it ranked 108th in Virginia with 88.21% average proficiency, but it dropped to 281st in 2025–26. Cedar Lane Elementary and Belmont Station Elementary are consistently strong, ranking in the mid-to-high 200s with proficiency above 82%. At the other end, Dominion Trail Elementary is the most challenged school, ranking 733rd (34th percentile) with 67.49% average proficiency. That creates a 514-position gap between the highest and lowest-ranked schools in the same zip code.

Economic disadvantage and chronic absenteeism are visible correlates of lower performance. Dominion Trail has the highest free/reduced lunch rate (43.99%) and highest chronic absenteeism (17.5%), while top performers like Belmont Station (19.67% FRL) and Newton-Lee (10.0% absenteeism) fare much better. Interestingly, more spending and smaller classes don't guarantee better results—Dominion Trail has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.4) yet the lowest scores, while Steuart W. Weller spends the least ($16,318 per student) but outperforms both Discovery Elementary and Dominion Trail. Across the group, VA Studies is a strength (83.97% average proficiency) while 3rd-grade reading is the weakest area (74.90% average), with Discovery and Dominion Trail falling below the state average. Only Newton-Lee and Sanders Corner consistently exceed district averages, though all schools beat state averages in most subjects.
