Summary:

The 20171 zip code area of Herndon, Virginia is home to 7 elementary schools that are part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and provide a range of academic programs and resources to the local community.

Among the standout schools in this area are Oak Hill Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top 100 elementary schools in Virginia and boasts exceptional test scores, with over 90% of students proficient or better in math and reading. Another high-performing school is Fox Mill Elementary, a public magnet school that ranks in the top 60 elementary schools in the state. Floris Elementary also stands out, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and strong test scores, particularly in math and science.

While the top-performing schools in the 20171 zip code area demonstrate impressive academic achievements, the data also reveals significant disparities in student outcomes across the different schools. Factors such as socioeconomic status, as indicated by free and reduced-price lunch rates, appear to play a role in these performance differences. Additionally, the consistent 15.7% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools in the area is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
