Summary:

ZIP code 20191 in Reston, VA is served by four elementary schools — Dogwood Elementary, Hunters Woods Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences, Terraset Elementary, and Sunrise Valley Elementary — all part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a district rated 39th out of 131 in Virginia. These PK–6 schools offer a dramatic range of academic outcomes despite sharing the same ZIP code and district.

Sunrise Valley Elementary is the clear academic leader, ranking 85th in the state (92nd percentile, 5 stars) with an average SOL proficiency of 88.7%, the lowest chronic absenteeism (8.0%), and the lowest poverty rate (15.8% free/reduced lunch). Hunters Woods Elementary School for the Arts and Sciences is a close second at 84.9% proficiency and an 85th-percentile ranking, and it is the only school offering 6th-grade Algebra I with 100% proficiency. Terraset Elementary sits near the district average at 74.2% proficiency (55th percentile). At the other extreme, Dogwood Elementary ranks 1046th (6th percentile, 0 stars) with an average proficiency of just 46.6% — a 42-point gap from Sunrise Valley. Dogwood also has the highest poverty rate (98.5%) and lowest reading scores (41.1%).

Perhaps most striking is that Dogwood spends the most per student ($13,667) and has the lowest student-teacher ratio (12.5:1), yet still trails far behind — while Hunters Woods has the highest ratio (16.0) and excels. Chronic absenteeism is uniformly low across all four schools (8.0%–8.9%), below the district and state averages, so attendance does not explain the achievement gap. Rank trends show Sunrise Valley improving (from 80th to 92nd percentile) and Dogwood slightly rebounding (from 3rd to 6th percentile). For parents, this ZIP code presents a clear choice: top-tier options at Sunrise Valley and Hunters Woods, a solid mid-range option at Terraset, and a high-need school at Dogwood where additional resources have not yet closed the academic gap.
