Eleven Oaks Elementary School opened on September 8, 1953, and was closed in June 1966. The majority of Eleven Oaks students were integrated into Burke, Centreville, Clifton, Fairview, Lorton, and Westmore elementary schools. Like Drew-Smith, Eleven Oaks served as a site for the Head Start program. The building was later used by FCPS for administrative offices. Eleven Oaks Elementary School was demolished in 2008, and George Mason Boulevard runs through the former school property.
