Summary:

Zip code 22204 in Arlington, VA is served by 10 schools in Arlington County Public Schools, a highly-rated district, and includes 7 elementary schools (PK–5), 2 middle schools (6–8), and 1 small high school (9–12) serving approximately 5,940 students. The school landscape here is extremely varied: Montessori Public School of Arlington is the standout elementary, ranking in the 82nd percentile statewide with top math (85.4%) and reading (86.7%) scores, while also having the lowest poverty rate (28.2% FRPL) and lowest per-pupil spending ($7,470). Campbell Elementary is another bright spot, ranking in the 77th percentile and posting a 92.0% pass rate on 4th-grade VA Studies, all while serving a high-poverty population (56.8% FRPL) and maintaining the lowest chronic absenteeism rate in the zip code (9.3%).

At the other end of the spectrum, Carlin Springs Elementary is the lowest-ranked school in the data set (9th percentile, 0 stars) with math and reading averages of only 55.4% and 48.9%, though it is showing strong year-over-year improvement. Barcroft Elementary, Randolph Elementary, and Hoffman-Boston Elementary all sit in the bottom quarter of the state. The two middle schools, Kenmore Middle and Jefferson Middle, are consistent but not outstanding, with a major red flag: while advanced math (Algebra I, Geometry) proficiency is near 100%, grade-level math proficiency collapses to just 45–54%. Arlington Community High is an extreme outlier, with a 44.6% graduation rate and 72.3% chronic absenteeism, suggesting it serves a non-traditional student population.

Overall, this zip code is a microcosm of educational inequality within a strong district. Spending and class size do not predict success: Randolph Elementary has among the highest spending ($21,140/student) and smallest classes (9.7:1) yet ranks in the bottom quartile, while Montessori spends the least and outperforms everyone. Poverty is not destiny either, as Campbell proves that high-poverty schools can beat the odds. For parents, this means school choice within 22204 matters enormously—top-tier options and struggling schools exist just blocks apart, so researching individual school performance is essential.
