Summary:

Zip code 22310 in Alexandria, Virginia is served by four public elementary schools — Bush Hill Elementary, Rose Hill Elementary, Clermont Elementary, and Franconia Elementary — all part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a district ranked in the 70th percentile statewide with a 4-star rating, serving a combined 2,385 students across grades PK through 6.

Clermont Elementary is the clear academic leader, ranking 162nd of 1,111 schools in Virginia (85th percentile) with an 84.9% overall proficiency rate — the highest of any school in the zip code and above district averages in every subject tested. It also has the lowest chronic absenteeism (5.3%) and the lowest poverty rate (15.1% free/reduced lunch) among the four schools. Most notably, Clermont achieves these results while spending the least per student ($11,128) and using the largest class sizes (15.9:1). Bush Hill Elementary is the next strongest performer, ranking 320th (71st percentile) with a 79.8% proficiency rate, and it exceeds district averages in 8 of 9 SOL tests. Bush Hill and Rose Hill have nearly identical enrollments and identical student-teacher ratios, yet Bush Hill outperforms Rose Hill by roughly 9 percentage points.

Rose Hill Elementary has shown the most improvement, climbing from the 18th percentile in 2023-24 to the 42nd percentile, though it still faces the highest poverty rate (42.6%) and chronic absenteeism (12.3%) in the group, and despite spending the most per student ($13,476), it still trails district averages in most subjects. Franconia Elementary sits in the lower-middle range (43rd percentile) but posted concerning 5th grade declines, with math proficiency dropping from 66.1% to 50.0% and science falling from 71.0% to 57.1% year-over-year. Across the zip code, 5th grade math is the weakest subject, while 4th grade reading is a clear strength. For families, Clermont and Bush Hill offer the strongest academic environments, while Rose Hill's upward momentum and Franconia's isolated 5th grade issues are worth monitoring.
