Summary

Windsor High is a small public high school in Windsor, Virginia, serving 508 students in grades 9–12 as part of Isle of Wight County Public Schools. The school currently ranks 78th out of 331 Virginia high schools — in the 76th percentile with a 4-star rating — making it the highest-ranked school among nearby high schools like Western Branch High, Nansemond River High, and Smithfield High. This follows an even stronger 2024–2025 school year when Windsor ranked 50th in the state.

Windsor's strongest academic results come in 9th-grade SOL assessments. In Algebra I, 92.6% of 9th graders passed versus 80.2% statewide; in Biology, 92.4% passed versus 86.1% statewide; and in World History I, 94.0% passed — nearly 22 points above the state average. These numbers also beat nearby schools like Smithfield High and Lakeland High by wide margins. Notably, Windsor achieves these results while serving a student body where 62% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Its low-income students rank at the 77th percentile statewide, and its disabled students rank at the 74th percentile. The school also invests more per student ($12,227) than any nearby school, including Manor High and Franklin High, and maintains a favorable 13.5 student-teacher ratio.

The main concern is graduation. Windsor's 88.8% graduation rate trails the district (93.3%) and state (92.3%), and its dropout rate spiked to 7.6% in 2024–2025, though it was just 2.2% the prior year. Nearby Nansemond River High (96.9%) and Smithfield High (95.1%) graduate students at higher rates. On a brighter note, chronic absenteeism has dropped from 41% in 2021–2022 to 12.1% in 2024–2025, now below both district and state averages. If Windsor can match its strong classroom performance with stronger graduation outcomes, it has the potential to be a consistently elite Virginia high school.
