Located in a quiet Burke subdivision, Cherry Run Elementary School (Cherry Run) enrolls approximately 440 pupils in its pre-K and K-6 programs, with a student-teacher ratio of 11-to-1. Cherry Run’s approach emphasizes small-group instruction, team teaching, and project-based learning. The school is also among several elementary schools in Fairfax County to offer the Young Scholars Model, which identifies and nurtures advanced academic potential by addressing underrepresentation in gifted programs. Additionally, sixth-grade students have the option to participate in seventh-grade advanced math courses. Having grown from three makeshift instructional pods when the school opened in 1983, Cherry Run’s brick building significantly expanded in 2016 with an additional 23,000 square feet of new classroom and office spaces. Extracurricular opportunities throughout the school are plentiful, including fencing, yoga, Lego club, Odyssey of the Mind, chess club, and band. Cherry Run’s faculty share a commitment to fostering civic responsibility and mutual respect, as well as equipping students with critical thinking and conflict resolution skills. Combined with an active PTA that includes neighboring communities in its special events, it’s easy to see why Cherry Run is a special part of Burke area living.

GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

When you bring it to Mr Bibbees attention he says he will do something about it but does nothing. You can see him regularly flirting with staff members and moms. Bullying is an issue. My s...

The principal is terrible. He will speak to issues but when it comes down to it, he does not take action and does not accept any responsibility for how his school is run. He has staff that he himself complains about. He does not care about the students well being or academic progress He will promise...
