High Schools in Wise County Public Schools

The Wise County Public Schools district in Virginia is home to three high schools: Central High, Union High, and Eastside High. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and have demonstrated strong academic performance, with Central High standing out as the top-performing high school in the district.

Central High is the clear standout, consistently ranking among the top 16 high schools in Virginia and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's students outperform the district and state averages on a wide range of standardized tests, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.1. While Union High and Eastside High also perform well, they do not match the exceptional level of excellence demonstrated by Central High.

Across the district, the high schools have a predominantly white student population, with some diversity at Union High, which has the highest percentage of African American and Hispanic students. The schools also vary in their spending per student, with Eastside High spending the most at $7,288 per student and Central High spending the least at $5,947 per student. However, this spending difference does not directly correlate with the schools' performance, as Central High remains the top-performing school in the district.
