Summary

Appomattox County High is a public high school in Appomattox, VA, serving 731 students in grades 9–12 as part of Appomattox County Public Schools. The school has made remarkable recent progress, jumping from the 35th percentile statewide in 2022–2023 to the 66th percentile (rank 113 out of 331) in 2025–2026. Math is a clear standout: Algebra I proficiency reached 92% for 9th graders and 83% for 10th graders, well above state averages and far exceeding nearby Rustburg High (82%) and E.C. Glass High (49%). Biology and World History scores are also mostly above state averages, though VA/U.S. History remains a weak spot at 29% proficiency.

Attendance has improved dramatically: chronic absenteeism fell from 45% in 2020–2021 to just 12.3% in 2024–2025, now below the state average of 14.8%. That said, the graduation rate of 88.2% trails the state average of 92.3%, even though the dropout rate (3.9%) is better than the state’s (5.0%). This creates an interesting trade-off when compared to Rustburg High, which has a similar student profile: Appomattox leads in academic proficiency and state rank, but Rustburg posts a higher graduation rate (97.5%) and lower chronic absenteeism (7.2%). Against E.C. Glass, however, Appomattox is stronger across nearly every metric—graduation rate, dropout rate, absenteeism, and math proficiency—while spending less per student ($8,680 vs. $10,522).

With more than three-quarters of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, Appomattox County High stands out as a high-poverty school performing above expectations. Its low-income students rank in the 70th percentile statewide, and students with disabilities rank in the 70th percentile as well—both strong results. The school’s overall improvement appears broad-based, and its combination of rising test scores, falling absenteeism, and solid subgroup outcomes suggests meaningful recent gains. Parents considering this school will find a place that is clearly moving in the right direction, even if the graduation rate still has room to catch up to its classroom successes.
