Summary:

ZIP code 22207 in Arlington, Virginia, is home to five elementary schools—Glebe Elementary, Taylor Elementary, Discovery Elementary, Jamestown Elementary, and Nottingham Elementary—all part of Arlington County Public Schools and serving grades PK through 5. Together these schools enroll 2,431 students, and every one of them exceeds district and statewide averages in every reported subject and grade. This is one of the highest-performing elementary school clusters in Virginia: four of the five schools hold 5-star ratings and rank in the top 35 statewide, with three in the top 20.

Nottingham Elementary is the standout, ranking #8 in the state with a 95.8% average SOL proficiency, including 98.6% in both 5th-grade math and reading. Jamestown Elementary is close behind at #13 with a 94.6% average, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the group at 3.4%, and the highest per-student spending at $15,107. Glebe Elementary is the equity standout: despite having the highest free/reduced lunch rate (15.3%) and the highest absenteeism (7.7%), it ranks #18 with a 93.7% average proficiency, outperforming Taylor Elementary by about 6 points. Discovery Elementary ranks #35 with a 92.5% average but declined from its previous #18 position. Taylor Elementary ranks #117—a 4-star school that still beats the district average by nearly 9 points and the state by 16 points.

Interestingly, spending and class size do not clearly drive outcomes. Nottingham Elementary has the largest student-teacher ratio (14.7:1) yet ranks highest, while Discovery Elementary spends the least per student ($12,856) and still places in the top 35. Chronic absenteeism across the zip is remarkably low, ranging from 3.4% to 7.7%, far below the district's 12.1% and the state's 14.8%. Mathematics is the strongest subject area with a 94.2% zip-wide average, and 5th graders show the strongest results overall. The most compelling takeaway is the success of Glebe Elementary: it proves that economic disadvantage does not define academic outcomes, making this zip code a consistently excellent choice for elementary education.
