Academically, the school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is generally on par with or slightly below the district and state averages, but it has shown strengths in subjects like Algebra II, Biology, and English Reading. However, the school's statewide ranking and SchoolDigger rating have fluctuated over the years, ranging from 95th out of 321 Virginia high schools (4-star rating) in 2015-2016 to 189th out of 326 (2-star rating) in 2022-2023, indicating some challenges in maintaining consistent academic excellence.

Warhill High's performance varies across different student subgroups, with relatively strong rankings for Asian and White students, but lower rankings for African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. The school has also experienced a slight decline in enrollment and a shift in its racial composition, with a decrease in the percentage of White students and an increase in African American and Hispanic students. When compared to nearby schools, such as York High and Jamestown High, Warhill High generally performs on par or slightly below the district average, but above the state of Virginia average in many subject areas.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
