Last checked Oct. 23, 2026. Sources: Loudoun County Public Schools and its 2026-27 zone maps, the Virginia Department of Education’s School Quality Profiles, the federal NCES school directory and Private School Survey, and Loudoun County’s address points.
Every public school in Leesburg is run by Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS), the county-wide school division; the town has no school system of its own. Twenty LCPS schools with an attendance zone have a Leesburg address: four high schools, five middle schools and 11 elementary schools. Fourteen of them are inside the town limits; the other six have a Leesburg mailing address but sit in unincorporated Loudoun County. Each one has its own page below, with its principal, enrollment, state report card, feeder schools and bell times.
Attendance zones follow the division’s own lines, not the town limits or ZIP codes. Inside the town, every address is zoned for one of three high schools: Tuscarora (39% of the town’s 14,524 county address points), Loudoun County (31%) or Heritage (30%). Outside the town, the Leesburg ZIP codes 20175 and 20176 also reach Riverside High and, at the edges, Independence, Loudoun Valley, Lightridge and Woodgrove high schools. Check any address in the LCPS Attendance Boundary E-Listing (LABEL), or call Planning and GIS Services at 571-252-1050. The LCPS main number is 571-252-1000.
