Summary:

Zip code 22308 in Alexandria, Virginia is home to three elementary schools — Waynewood Elementary, Stratford Landing Elementary, and Fort Hunt Elementary — all part of Fairfax County Public Schools, serving grades PK through 6 with enrollments ranging from 551 to 738 students.

Waynewood Elementary is the clear academic standout, earning a 5-star rating and ranking in the 94th percentile statewide. Its average SOL proficiency of 89% in 2025-2026 is well ahead of the other two schools, with particularly strong reading scores (92%) and math scores (86%). It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism rate (4.9%) and by far the lowest poverty rate (4.1% free/reduced lunch eligibility). Stratford Landing Elementary is a solid 4-star school with strong reading proficiency (89.3%) and the lowest student-teacher ratio (13.1) of the three, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, its 5th grade math scores are a persistent weakness — just 57.1% in 2025-2026 and 58.3% the year before, both well below district and state averages. Fort Hunt Elementary has the lowest rankings and a 3-star rating, but it serves the highest-need population (30% free/reduced lunch eligibility) and is steadily improving, moving from the 52nd to 65th percentile over three years.

A few patterns stand out. Fort Hunt spends the most per student at $12,919 — roughly $3,000 more than the other two schools — yet has the lowest test scores, reflecting the additional supports needed for its higher-poverty population rather than inefficiency. Poverty and chronic absenteeism align closely with performance across all three schools. Fort Hunt's 6th grade is a bright spot, with math proficiency of 88.9% and reading of 92.3%, both well above district and state averages. Stratford Landing's dramatic jump from the 73rd to 85th percentile between 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 suggests meaningful recent improvements. For families, Waynewood is the strongest academic choice, but all three schools operate within a well-regarded, high-performing district.
