Summary

C.D. Hylton High is a public magnet high school located in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,909 students. It is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 42 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While C.D. Hylton High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.6% to 94.5% over the past few years, the school has experienced high rates of chronic absenteeism, ranging from 14.3% to 24.2% in the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is mixed compared to the district and state averages, with the school excelling in some subjects, such as Algebra II and World History I, but struggling in others, like Geometry, Chemistry, and VA and US History. The school's academic performance has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past several years, dropping from 129th in 2014-2015 to 205th in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, C.D. Hylton High performs similarly to or slightly better than some, such as Osbourn Park High and Gar-Field High, in terms of academic performance and graduation rates. However, it lags behind higher-performing schools like Charles J. Colgan Senior High and Forest Park High, which have stronger academic outcomes and higher statewide rankings. Addressing the underlying causes of chronic absenteeism and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be key focus areas for improvement at C.D. Hylton High.
