Summary

Broad Run High is a comprehensive public high school in Ashburn, VA, serving approximately 1,558 students in grades 9–12 as part of Loudoun County Public Schools. The school currently ranks #104 out of 331 Virginia high schools (69th percentile), placing it solidly above the state average but behind several of its closest neighbors in a remarkably strong local area. Nearby schools like Independence High (#7), John Champe High (#15), Briar Woods High (#21), and Stone Bridge High (#35) all rank in the state's top 35, making Broad Run's immediate neighborhood one of the most competitive in Virginia.

Academically, Broad Run posts strong graduation numbers — a 97.7% graduation rate and a 1.2% dropout rate, both better than state averages. The school excels in 9th-grade math and science, with Algebra I, Algebra II, and Biology proficiency all above 93%. However, scores drop noticeably in 10th-grade courses: Geometry proficiency sits at 33% and Biology at 69%, below district levels and well behind several nearby peers. On a positive note, Broad Run has made meaningful progress in subgroup outcomes over the past two years, with African American students improving from the 49th to 72nd percentile statewide and multiracial students moving from the 52nd to 73rd percentile.

Chronic absenteeism is one area that may be holding the school back. At 16.4%, Broad Run's rate is above both the district (14.1%) and state (14.8%) averages, and several higher-ranked neighbors have lower rates. Broad Run also serves a more economically diverse student body than its top-performing neighbors, with a 30.4% free/reduced lunch rate compared to 10.6% at Independence High and 12.8% at Briar Woods High. Notably, Broad Run spends more per student ($18,705) and has a lower student-teacher ratio (12.8) than many neighboring schools that rank higher, suggesting the path forward lies in targeted academic support and attendance initiatives rather than additional funding.
