Summary:
ZIP code 22033 in Fairfax, Virginia, contains four public elementary schools serving grades PK–6, all part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a 4-star district ranked 39th out of 131 districts in Virginia. The four schools — Navy Elementary, Greenbriar West Elementary, Lees Corner Elementary, and Greenbriar East Elementary — serve a combined 2,947 students, with no middle or high schools located within the ZIP code itself.
Navy Elementary is the clear standout, ranking 14th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools (99th percentile, 5 stars) in 2025-26, with nearly all SOL proficiency rates above 90% and 100% proficiency on Algebra I for 6th graders. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate (5.9%) and the lowest per-student spending at $10,432. Greenbriar West Elementary is a strong upper-tier school, ranking 145th (87th percentile, 4 stars), with math proficiency from 84% to 89% and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 8.9%. Lees Corner Elementary is solid and consistent, ranking 235th (79th percentile, 4 stars) with roughly 84% overall SOL proficiency and the highest per-student spending at $13,611. Greenbriar East Elementary is the outlier of concern, ranking 794th (29th percentile, 1 star) with an overall SOL average of just 62.7%, the highest free/reduced lunch rate (39.3%), and the highest chronic absenteeism (12.8%).
Strikingly, outcomes vary dramatically within this single ZIP code and district, with state rankings ranging from 14th to 794th. Poverty and attendance track closely with performance: the lowest-poverty school posts the highest scores, while the highest-poverty school posts the lowest. Spending does not predict performance — Lees Corner spends the most per student yet ranks below Navy and Greenbriar West. Greenbriar East's math scores fell sharply from 2024-25 to 2025-26 across multiple grades, dropping its rank from the 37th to the 29th percentile. Advanced math access also differs: Navy and Greenbriar West both report 100% Algebra I proficiency for 6th graders, while Greenbriar East and Lees Corner report none. All four schools beat the state chronic absenteeism average of 14.8%, and three of four are at or below the district average of 11.9%.
