Summary:

Zip code 22306 in Alexandria, VA is served by three public elementary schools—Hybla Valley Elementary, Groveton Elementary, and Hollin Meadows Elementary—all part of the highly regarded Fairfax County Public Schools district, serving grades PK through 6 with a combined enrollment of over 2,200 students.

Despite belonging to a top-ranked Virginia district (70th percentile), all three schools rank in the bottom 5–12% of Virginia elementary schools, exposing a sharp within-district gap. Hollin Meadows Elementary is the standout performer: it has the highest state rank (12th percentile), the best average SOL proficiency (54.2%), the strongest reading scores, and the highest per-student spending ($13,672). Hybla Valley Elementary is the most challenged, with a 5th-percentile rank, the lowest proficiency (47.3%), and near-universal economic disadvantage (99.09% free/reduced lunch). Groveton Elementary sits in the middle overall but shows a severe math collapse: 3rd grade math proficiency is 63.7%, yet 6th grade math drops to just 26.9%, a 37-point decline. Reading is comparatively stronger at Groveton and Hollin Meadows, running 12–13 points above their math averages.

Socioeconomic status strongly tracks these outcomes: the school with the lowest poverty rate (Hollin Meadows, 76.26% FRL) has the highest achievement, while the highest-poverty school (Hybla Valley, 99.09% FRL) has the lowest. Chronic absenteeism is elevated everywhere, but not neatly linked—Hollin Meadows has the best scores yet the highest absenteeism (20.2%), whereas Groveton has the lowest absenteeism (12.7%) but still trails Hollin academically. All three schools improved slightly year-over-year, but science is a universal weakness, with 5th-grade science proficiency in the low-to-mid 40s and declining at every school. The most urgent intervention areas are upper-elementary math, especially at Groveton, and science across all three schools.
