Schools in Zip Code 22031

ZIP code 22031 is served by four schools in Fairfax County Public Schools—one high school and three elementary schools—covering grades PK through 12 with a combined enrollment of 4,838 students. Woodson High is the only high school in the ZIP and holds a 5-star rating, ranking 33rd of 331 high schools in Virginia with a 98.1% graduation rate and a 1.1% dropout rate—both far better than district and state averages. Among elementary schools, Mantua Elementary is the standout: it ranks 36th of 1,111 elementary schools (97th percentile, 5 stars) and has climbed from 115th to 36th over three years, leading the ZIP’s elementary schools in nearly every subject, including over 95% proficiency in 5th-grade reading and science. Mosaic Elementary is a solid, cost-efficient option, ranking 148th (87th percentile, 4 stars) while spending the least per student ($10,182) and posting strong results, including 100% proficiency in 6th-grade Algebra I. Fairhill Elementary ranks lowest in the ZIP (420th, 62nd percentile, 3 stars), with the highest free/reduced lunch rate (35.34%) and the highest per-pupil spending ($12,112), yet it has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the area at just 2.8%.

Socio-economic patterns are visible across the schools: Fairhill, with the highest poverty rate, trails the other elementary schools in math and science, while Mantua and Woodson, with much lower free/reduced lunch rates, earn the top rankings and 5-star ratings. Mosaic sits in the middle on both demographics and performance. Notably, Woodson’s only consistent weak spot is 10th-grade Biology, where proficiency has fallen below state averages for two consecutive years (60.47% in 2025–2026 versus 68.86% statewide), despite the school’s otherwise excellent math outcomes, including 100% proficiency in Algebra II. Meanwhile, Mantua’s trajectory is clearly upward, while Woodson’s high school rank has slipped slightly from 19th to 30th to 33rd over three years, though both remain top-tier.

For families, the ZIP has no middle schools, so elementary students likely move to middle schools outside 22031 before reaching Woodson High—an important factor to research. Overall, Mantua offers the strongest elementary academics, Mosaic provides the best value, and Fairhill, despite high spending and strong attendance, appears to face deeper challenges. Woodson remains a highly reliable high school option with excellent graduation and college-prep results, though families should be aware of the Biology dip.
