Summary

Midlothian High is a public high school located in Midlothian, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,046 students. It is part of the Chesterfield County Public Schools district, which is ranked 71 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midlothian High consistently ranks among the top high schools in Virginia, with a statewide ranking between 19-77 over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, indicating strong academic performance. Midlothian High's students outperform the district and state averages on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests across various subjects and grade levels. The school also has consistently high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 90.7% to 96.8% over the past few years, and relatively low dropout rates compared to the district and state averages.

While Midlothian High stands out as a high-performing public high school, the school's performance disparities among different student subgroups suggest that it may need to focus on addressing equity and providing additional support to ensure all students reach their full potential. Nearby magnet schools, such as Mills E. Godwin High and Douglas S. Freeman High in the Henrico County Public Schools district, demonstrate comparable or even higher academic achievements in certain areas.
