High Schools in Prince George County Public Schools

Prince George County Public Schools is home to one public high school, Prince George High, serving grades 9–12 in Prince George, VA, with an enrollment of 1,789 students.

Since Prince George High is the only high school in the district, every comparison here is against Virginia state averages. The school’s biggest strengths are in math and select science courses. Algebra I proficiency is well above the state at every grade level tested—for example, 92.67% of 9th graders passed versus 80.21% statewide—and 9th-grade Biology is also a standout at 96.75% proficiency. Seniors show exceptionally strong results, with 91.67% proficient in English Reading and 77.27% in VA/US History, both far exceeding state averages. The graduation rate of 93.2% edges out the state’s 92.3%, and the dropout rate is slightly lower than the state figure. The school’s state rank has improved steadily, moving from the 32nd percentile in 2023–24 to the 40th percentile in 2025–26, although it still earns only 2 stars and sits below the district’s ranking in the 66th percentile.

However, there are clear areas of concern. Chronic absenteeism affects 23.4% of students—nearly 1 in 4—compared to 18.8% for the district and 14.8% statewide. Writing proficiency lags significantly behind the state: only 50% of 10th graders and 70.55% of 11th graders passed their writing SOL, versus 64.14% and 79.89% statewide. World History II remains the weakest subject at 36.73% proficiency, and Earth Science also trails the state average. On a positive note, several scores improved dramatically from the previous year, including 11th-grade Biology jumping from 33.87% to 67.39% and World History II rising from 24.47% to 36.73%. With 35.38% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a student-teacher ratio of 20.3:1, the school serves a diverse student body with limited per-student spending of $8,128. Overall, Prince George High shows a promising upward trajectory, but addressing absenteeism and writing skills will be key to further progress.
