Summary:
Zip code 22030 is home to a single high school: Fairfax High, a large public school serving grades 9–12 with 2,404 students in Fairfax, Virginia, and part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a district ranked 39th out of 131 in the state. Because only one school is present in this zip code, the insights below focus on how Fairfax High compares to district and state benchmarks.
Fairfax High stands out for its strong graduation outcomes. The school graduates 94.0% of its students, better than the district (92.7%) and state (92.3%), and its dropout rate of 2.4% is less than half the district rate of 5.1%. Academically, the school excels in English Reading and Geometry: 12th-grade reading proficiency reached 93.06% in 2025–2026, far above the district (67.63%) and state (70.22%), and 9th-grade Geometry proficiency hit 95.35%. The school's state ranking also rebounded from the 37th percentile in 2024–2025 to the 53rd percentile in 2025–2026, lifting it from a 2-star to a 3-star rating. However, Chemistry proficiency is a major concern, with just 9.52% of 10th-graders proficient in 2025–2026, compared to 55.58% for the district and 60.82% for the state, a pattern also seen the prior year.
Chronic absenteeism sits at 14.9%, above the district average of 11.9%, though it remains close to the state average of 14.8%. The school serves a moderately diverse economic population, with 35.4% of students receiving free or reduced lunch, and spends $11,752 per student. Overall, Fairfax High is a solid performer with strong graduation rates and clear strengths in reading and geometry, but science proficiency — particularly Chemistry — and absenteeism are areas that parents may want to monitor closely.
