Summary:

The elementary schools in ZIP code 20169 serve the Haymarket, Virginia area and include four schools — Haymarket Elementary, Samuel L. Gravely Junior Elementary, J.W. Alvey Elementary, and Mountain View Elementary — which together span grades PK-5 within Prince William County Public Schools, a district ranked 46th out of 131 in Virginia.

J.W. Alvey Elementary stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, ranking #51 in Virginia for 2025-2026 with an average SOL proficiency of about 91.2% and the lowest free/reduced lunch rate at 9.56%. Samuel L. Gravely Junior Elementary is a close, consistent competitor, ranking #106 and posting the strongest 5th grade science score (92.03%) while matching the lowest chronic absenteeism rate at 7.1%. Haymarket Elementary is the largest school with 963 students; it climbed to #37 in 2024-2025 but slipped to #110 in 2025-2026, though it remains in the top 10% statewide despite having the highest poverty rate (22.53%) and lowest per-student spending. Mountain View Elementary is the most concerning: despite spending the most per student ($12,592) and having the smallest class sizes, it ranks lowest at #285 with an 81.9% average proficiency, dropping from #79 just two years earlier.

Overall, these schools are strong across the board. Every school exceeds both district and state averages on most SOL tests — for example, 5th grade math proficiency ranges from 88.16% to 95.92% versus a 72.39% state average. Chronic absenteeism is remarkably low everywhere, between 6.8% and 7.5%, compared to 14.8% statewide. Notably, higher spending does not guarantee better results: Mountain View Elementary spends the most yet ranks the lowest, while Haymarket Elementary spends the least yet ranks in the top 10%. 5th grade math is a universal strength across all four schools, and the smaller size of Mountain View Elementary (418 students) likely explains its more volatile year-to-year swings. Families in this area will find high-quality elementary options with strong math instruction, low absenteeism, and performance well above Virginia averages.
