Summary

Centreville High is a large traditional public high school in Clifton, Virginia, serving 2,347 students in grades 9–12 as part of Fairfax County Public Schools, a district ranked 39th out of 131 in Virginia. The school currently ranks 142nd out of 331 Virginia high schools, placing it solidly in the middle of the pack among its neighbors—below Woodson High (33rd), Chantilly High (49th), and Robinson Secondary (93rd), but above Fairfax High (157th) and Westfield High (221st). This mid-tier position represents a shift from the mid-2010s, when the school consistently ranked in the 72nd–79th percentile statewide.

Academically, Centreville shows a striking split. Its 9th-grade SOL scores are excellent—Biology at 95.27% proficiency, Geometry at 90.21%, and Algebra II at 97.67%—rivaling much higher-ranked schools like Chantilly and Woodson. However, the same school posts dramatically lower scores on upperclassman retakes, such as 22.73% proficiency for 10th-grade Geometry and 27.78% for 11th-grade Earth Science. This pattern suggests strong initial instruction but weak remediation pathways for students who need a second chance to pass end-of-course assessments.

Attendance and engagement appear to be the school's biggest vulnerabilities. Centreville's chronic absenteeism rate of 18.1% is well above the district rate of 11.9%, and its 6.3% dropout rate exceeds every nearby traditional Fairfax County high school. The graduation rate of 91.5% is the lowest among its immediate Fairfax peers. Subgroup outcomes are mixed: the school ranks in the 81st percentile for African American students and was ranked 1st in Virginia for military-connected students in 2024–2025, but Hispanic students (26th percentile) and low-income students (44th percentile) face persistent challenges. With roughly 31% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, improving outcomes for these groups would benefit a significant portion of the student body.
