Summary

Wilson Memorial High is a public high school in Fishersville, VA, serving 837 students in grades 9–12 as part of Augusta County Public Schools. For the 2025–2026 school year, Wilson ranks 105th out of 331 Virginia high schools, placing it in the 68th percentile with a 3-star rating — a steady climb from ranks of 130, 128, and 118 over the previous three years. This makes Wilson the second-highest-ranked high school in Augusta County, behind Riverheads High and ahead of Stuarts Draft High, Buffalo Gap High, and Fort Defiance High.

Wilson's academic performance is strong across most subjects. Its Standards of Learning (SOL) proficiency rates exceeded state averages in every tested subject, with particularly impressive results in 9th-grade Earth Science (84% vs. 75% statewide), Geometry (96% vs. 86%), and 11th-grade Reading (92% vs. 88%). The school also shows notable recent gains for historically underserved student groups — African American students ranked 4th in Virginia and Hispanic students 36th in the most recent year, both dramatic improvements from two years earlier. Low-income students also rose from the 49th to the 75th percentile. These results are especially notable given Wilson spends just $8,374 per student, far less than Western Albemarle High ($13,214) or Buffalo Gap High ($11,833).

Where Wilson struggles is in getting students across the finish line. The graduation rate of 91.4% sits below the state average of 92.3% and below every nearby school except Waynesboro High. The dropout rate of 4.9% is well above Augusta County's 3.2% district rate, and chronic absenteeism at 17.8% exceeds both district and state averages. Upper-grade test scores also dip compared to 9th-grade results, with 10th-grade Geography proficiency at just 59% and 12th-grade Reading at 71%. These completion and attendance challenges stand in contrast to Wilson's strong test performance, and improving them could lift the school's already-rising state ranking even further.
