Summary

Monacan High is a comprehensive public high school in North Chesterfield, VA, serving 1,644 students in grades 9–12 as part of Chesterfield County Public Schools. In the 2025-26 school year, Monacan High ranked 197th out of 331 Virginia high schools — the 40th percentile with a 2-star rating — placing it solidly in the middle of a mid-tier district. The school has been trending upward, rising from 221st in 2024-25, though it remains below its 2015-16 peak of 107th.

The clearest bright spot is graduation. Monacan's 92.7% graduation rate outpaces the district's 89.2% and essentially matches the state's 92.3%, and it beats nearby James River High (90.1%) and Manchester High (90.0%). The school also posts strong SOL results in writing (71.3% proficient vs. 64.1% statewide), 11th-grade reading (90.3%), and 9th-grade biology (93.2%). Chronic absenteeism has dropped from 25.3% in 2022-23 to 15.8% in 2024-25 — now below the district average of 16.1%.

The challenges are in math and U.S. history. Only 25.5% of students passed the 11th-grade VA & US History SOL, and Algebra II proficiency (72.0%) trails the state by more than 20 points. Yet Monacan's story is one of resilience: despite a 73.9% free-and-reduced-price lunch rate — comparable to Meadowbrook High (73.7%) and Manchester High (74.0%) — Monacan outperforms both on graduation and overall ranking, and it does so with less per-pupil funding ($8,114) and larger class sizes than those schools.
