Schools in Zip Code 22102

Zip code 22102 in McLean, Virginia is served by a single public school—Spring Hill Elementary—a PK–6 elementary school with 980 students in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which means parents in this area are looking at one consistently elite school rather than comparing multiple local options.

Spring Hill Elementary is a top-tier performer by every measure, ranking 40th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 96th percentile statewide, and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's results are exceptionally strong across all grades and subjects: 2025–2026 average proficiency was 90.5% in mathematics and 92.1% in reading, with science at 89.2% and 6th grade Algebra I at a perfect 100%. These scores beat both state and district averages by 15 to 30 percentage points in most categories—for example, 6th grade math proficiency was 89.89% versus 69.31% for the district and 63.19% for the state. The school's state rank has fluctuated (21st to 73rd to 40th over three years), but underlying test scores have remained remarkably stable, indicating the rank changes reflect normal variation at the top of the distribution rather than any real decline in performance.

Spring Hill’s success is supported by several positive indicators: chronic absenteeism is only 9.3%, about 22% lower than the district rate of 11.9% and 37% lower than the state rate of 14.8%, and just 11.12% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, reflecting a predominantly higher-income community. Spending is moderate at $9,255 per student, and the student–teacher ratio is 17:1—yet outcomes rank among the very best in Virginia. Parents moving to zip code 22102 should expect an academically advanced environment with a strong upper-elementary math program that offers Algebra I to 6th graders, consistently high reading proficiency across every grade level, and a school that significantly outperforms its already strong district in nearly every subject and grade.
