High Schools in Alexandria City Public Schools


Summary:

Alexandria City Public Schools has only one high school, Alexandria City High School, which serves a diverse student population with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students. The school's academic performance has been declining in recent years, with proficiency rates on state standardized tests falling below the state average in several subject areas, including Geometry, Algebra I, and Biology.

Despite higher per-student spending and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to the state average, Alexandria City High School has seen a drop in its statewide ranking, from 285th out of 325 Virginia high schools in 2021-2022 to 320th out of 329 in 2023-2024. The school's SchoolDigger rating has remained at 1 star out of 5, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

The data suggests that the school's academic challenges may be linked to the socioeconomic factors of its student population, with 44.03% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. While the higher resource allocation and smaller class sizes are positive factors, the school's leadership and instructional strategies may need to be examined to address the underlying issues and improve student outcomes for the Alexandria City Public Schools community.
