Its 8th-grade math proficiency jumped from 30.19% to 55.93% in one year, moving above district and state averages.
All three schools exceed Virginia state averages in reading, civics, and science, and advanced math is a signature strength: 7th-grade Algebra I proficiency reaches 100% at Eagle Ridge and Stone Hill, while 8th-grade Geometry and Algebra II are at or near 100% everywhere.

Stone Hill has a higher free/reduced lunch rate (19.5%) than Eagle Ridge (12.4%) or Brambleton (11.8%), yet it still outperforms state averages.
