Summary:
The 22150 zip code area in Fairfax County, Virginia is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 1 high school, and 1 alternative school, all part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district.
Among the standout schools in the area is Springfield Estates Elementary, which consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Virginia with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and significantly higher test scores than the district and state averages. Another strong performer is Garfield Elementary, which also exceeds district and state averages in many areas, particularly in mathematics and English reading. The alternative school, Key Center, stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 92.8% and a relatively low dropout rate of 4.5%, suggesting it is effectively serving its student population.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in educational outcomes across the schools, with some, like Lynbrook Elementary and Crestwood Elementary, struggling to meet district and state averages in test scores. This may be related to the varying levels of economic disadvantage, as measured by free/reduced lunch rates, among the student populations. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is a significant issue that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.
