Summary

Lewis High is a comprehensive public high school in Springfield, Virginia, serving 1,658 students in grades 9–12 as part of Fairfax County Public Schools. The school serves a high-need population — 68.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch — and spends $13,867 per student, more than most nearby comprehensive high schools. For 2025–2026, Lewis ranks 273rd of 331 Virginia high schools, placing it in the 18th percentile with a 1-star rating — a position it has held consistently in the bottom quartile over the past decade.

The contrast with nearby schools in the same district is striking. West Springfield High, just 3.8 miles away, ranks 46th in the state with a 98.7% graduation rate, while Lake Braddock Secondary ranks 57th and Thomas Jefferson High for Science and Technology ranks 3rd. Among nearby comprehensive high schools, only Justice High ranks lower than Lewis. Still, Lewis's 91.5% graduation rate beats several higher-ranked neighbors, including Justice (88.3%), Annandale High (88.7%), and West Potomac High (90.1%). The school also outspends most of its neighbors — $13,867 per student versus $9,762 at West Springfield and $10,578 at Lake Braddock — reflecting the higher cost of serving a high-need student body.

The clearest academic weakness is early high school math: 9th-grade Algebra I proficiency is 62.0%, about 18 points below the state average, and 10th-grade Algebra I proficiency is 46.2%. But there are notable strengths. Ninth-grade Biology proficiency (90.8%) matches the district average, 11th-grade Biology (76.3%) exceeds both district and state averages, and 12th-grade reading (76.4%) beats state and district benchmarks. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 24.9% in 2021–2022 to 17.8% in 2024–2025, and the school is relatively effective for low-income students (39th percentile statewide) compared with its overall 18th-percentile rank. The most urgent priorities are strengthening early math, improving 11th-grade reading, and closing achievement gaps for English learners and students with disabilities.

Lewis is a terrible experience for any teen to have to endure. Top admin is full of malarkey. The school operates under false pretenses that it's such a caring environment. Then why was there such high turn over among staff? Close Quote

"SchoolDigger ranks Fairfax County Public Schools 46th of 132 Virginia school districts." Does that tell you all you need to know about the validity of SchoolDigger? Close Quote
