Summary:

ZIP code 22032 in Fairfax, Virginia is home to six elementary schools serving grades PK through 6, all part of the highly rated Fairfax County Public Schools district, and together they enroll about 3,578 students in a generally affluent area. The schools are Laurel Ridge Elementary, Oak View Elementary, Bonnie Brae Elementary, Wakefield Forest Elementary, Olde Creek Elementary, and Little Run Elementary.

Wakefield Forest Elementary is the clear top performer, ranking 57th in Virginia with a 95th-percentile rating, a 5-star rating for three straight years, a 90.8% average SOL proficiency rate, and a remarkably low 3.9% chronic absenteeism rate. Laurel Ridge Elementary is the largest school with 835 students but still posts the second-highest proficiency (87.3%) and has climbed from a rank of 305 to 107 over three years. Olde Creek Elementary is the most improved school, jumping from the 60th to the 86th percentile, with its 3rd grade reading proficiency rising from 75.9% to 92.2% in one year. On the other end, Bonnie Brae Elementary has the lowest state rank (440th) and has slipped over time, while Little Run Elementary spends the most per student ($18,979) and has the smallest classes, yet its proficiency is only mid-pack.

Higher spending and smaller class sizes do not guarantee higher scores: Oak View Elementary spends about $7,700 less per student than Little Run but posts better results, and Wakefield Forest outperforms everyone while spending the second-least. The two schools with the highest free/reduced lunch rates—Little Run (30.7%) and Bonnie Brae (24.7%)—are the two lowest-performing, while the lowest FRPL schools are the top performers. Chronic absenteeism is a strength across the entire cluster, with every school below the district rate of 11.9% and the state rate of 14.8%. Trends are mixed: Laurel Ridge, Olde Creek, and Little Run are improving, while Oak View and Bonnie Brae are declining. All six schools rank above the Virginia median, and most SOL scores exceed state averages, making this ZIP code a strong, high-performing cluster for elementary education.
