Religious schools, sure. Any of the catholic elementary schools should be in budget. Beyond that? No, you need $35k+

Westminster School is in Annandale. Elementary only I think. Curriculum is solid and old-school. They say "classical", meaning traditional in their case.

Strong academics under $20k with a high school? Not around here.

Heck, even Pinecrest is more than $20k for K-6.

The Diocese of Arlington Catholic Schools will fit the bill, but high schools are separate.

Montessori School of Northern Virginia. Montessori schools by definition have a progressive learning methodology.

Then MSNV is probably out. It is Mr. Rogers level progressive. Too bad, it goes to 8th grade too.

Only secular? Location? Elementary only?

When we looked for secular elementary <$30k within 20 minutes of Burke we came up with Pinecrest, Montessori School of Northern Virginia, and Merritt.

All are slightly over $20k though. Under that was only available in a religious setting.
