As detailed in the base Ashburn record, Loudoun County Public Schools comprises 102 schools serving 80,973 students as of the 2026 school year, with an average math proficiency of 76% (vs. a 68% Virginia statewide average) and reading proficiency of 79% (vs. a 70% statewide average) -- a district-wide testing rank of 9 out of 10, in the top 20% of Virginia public school districts. Because Ashburn is an unincorporated CDP, every Ashburn address falls under this same countywide district rather than a separate municipal system.
Riverside High School: Feeds From Broadlands, Ranked #5 in Loudoun County
Riverside High School ranks #5 among Best Public High Schools in Loudoun County per 2026 Niche rankings, with a 4.3-star average rating from 140 Niche users. Broadlands -- the 1,500+-acre master-planned community detailed on the best-areas topic page -- feeds into Riverside's school pyramid, described in 2026 local real-estate coverage as among Virginia's best school assignments.
Stone Bridge High School: Feeds From Brambleton, Ranked #8 in Loudoun County
Stone Bridge High School ranks #8 among Best Public High Schools in Loudoun County, carrying an overall Niche Grade of A, with 1,629 students and a 13-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Brambleton -- the newer-construction, walkable-Town-Center master-planned community detailed on the best-areas topic page -- feeds into Stone Bridge's school pyramid.
A Districtwide Grade Blends Genuinely Different Campus Outcomes
As with any district this size, the districtwide 76%/79% proficiency figures blend genuinely different individual campus results -- Riverside and Stone Bridge both rank among Loudoun's top public high schools, but this pass did not independently source school-level proficiency figures distinct from the districtwide average for either school specifically, a disclosed gap rather than an invented number. Confirm the specific elementary, middle, and high school assigned to a given Ashburn address (and that individual school's own Niche or GreatSchools rating) rather than relying on the districtwide figures alone.
A Real, Current Research Gap on Elementary and Middle School Detail
This research pass sourced Loudoun County's districtwide figures and Ashburn's two most-discussed high schools (Riverside and Stone Bridge) in detail, but did not independently source specific elementary or middle school rankings feeding those same pyramids the way this project's Arlington, VA sibling record sourced Arlington Traditional Elementary specifically -- disclosed here as a genuine gap for this pass rather than filled with an invented figure.
