Summary

King George High is a comprehensive public high school in King George, VA, serving 1,492 students in grades 9–12 as part of King George County Public Schools. The school has been on an upward trajectory, jumping from the low-30s percentile statewide in recent years to the 50th percentile for 2025–2026, placing it solidly in the middle of Virginia high schools. Notably, King George serves a comparatively lower-poverty student body — about 30% qualify for free/reduced-price lunch — which is similar to Colonial Forge High (30.8%) and far below nearby schools like Massaponax High (62.8%) or Chancellor High (70.9%).

Academically, King George's literacy program is a genuine standout. The school posted 100% proficiency in 11th-grade writing and 95.7% in 10th-grade reading, both far above state averages. World History II results are also exceptional — 70% proficiency among 10th graders versus 35.5% statewide. Math tells a more divided story: accelerated students excel in Geometry and Algebra II, but upperclassmen retaking Algebra I continue to struggle, with only 57.1% of 11th graders proficient. The biggest red flag is chronic absenteeism at 28.1%, nearly double the state rate of 14.8% and one of the highest in the region, especially given the school's relatively low poverty rate.

Graduation and dropout rates are roughly average for the region at 91.4% and 6.2%, respectively. However, equity gaps are a serious concern: military-connected, multiracial, and disabled students all rank in the bottom quarter statewide, and the school's African American students saw a sharp drop in their subgroup ranking this year. The most instructive comparison is to Colonial Forge High, which has nearly identical demographics but better outcomes: higher graduation (94.4%), lower dropout (3.4%), lower chronic absenteeism (23.0%), and a much higher overall rank (73rd percentile). King George also has a notably higher student-teacher ratio (16.3 vs. 11.1), suggesting that additional staffing and attendance interventions could help close this gap.

What people are saying

by a parent
Thursday, April 21, 2016

Simply terrible. The salaries in this county are very low, so the saying "You get what you pay for" applies here.

The county employs way too many out-of-touch administrators who have one thing in common: An extremely poor work ethic.

The school board is out of touch with reality.

And discrimination is alive and well here. Black lives do matter... somewhere else. Close Quote
