Summary

Clarke County High is a public high school in Berryville, Virginia, serving grades 9–12 with about 683 students in the northern Shenandoah Valley. It is part of Clarke County Public Schools, a district ranked 22nd out of 131 in Virginia, and the school itself holds an overall state ranking of 44th out of 331 high schools — placing it in the 87th percentile with a 4-star rating. Among nearby schools, only Loudoun Valley High ranks higher, making Clarke County High one of the strongest-performing public high schools in the region.

The school's 2024–2025 graduation rate was 100% with a 0% dropout rate — the best in the area by a wide margin. By comparison, Millbrook High graduated 89.9% of its students, Sherando High 90.5%, John Handley High 93.3%, James Wood High 95.0%, Warren County High 96.1%, and Loudoun Valley High 98.9%. Clarke County High also posts strong test proficiency: 95.3% proficient in Algebra I, 94.8% in 11th-grade reading, and 93.4% in 9th-grade World History II, versus 80.2%, 88.1%, and 58.4% statewide respectively. Support for students with disabilities is a standout, ranking 22nd of 252 schools statewide — the 91st percentile with a 5-star rating.

Clarke County High has not always been a top performer. As recently as 2018–2019, it ranked 198th in Virginia; by 2020–2021 it had jumped to 29th, and it has remained in the top 15% most years since. The school has also cut chronic absenteeism from 28.9% in 2022–2023 to 15.9% in 2024–2025, nearly matching the state average and beating most neighboring schools. It does all of this efficiently, spending about $10,715 per student — roughly half of what Loudoun Valley High spends per student, and less than Warren County High, John Handley High, and several other lower-ranked schools. The result is a smaller high school that combines strong academics, high graduation rates, and effective support for all students.
