Summary

Riverside High in Leesburg, VA serves approximately 1,710 students in grades 9–12 as part of Loudoun County Public Schools, ranking 74th out of 331 Virginia high schools with a solid 4-star rating. The school's graduation rate of 98.7% is among the best in the region, essentially tied with Independence (99.6%) and John Champe (99.5%), and far ahead of Park View (85.2%) and Herndon (85.7%). Its dropout rate of just 0.6% dramatically outperforms the state average of 5.0%.

Riverside's academic strengths are clear in English and early science. Reading proficiency among 11th graders is 94.55%, and Algebra I proficiency for 9th graders is 95.53% — both above district and state averages. The school also excels in supporting students with disabilities, ranking in the 93rd percentile statewide for that subgroup. Hispanic students perform in the 84th percentile, and English learners and low-income students have shown meaningful improvement over the past year. Chronic absenteeism of 14.9% matches the state average and is better than several nearby schools, including Stone Bridge (20.3%) and John Champe (17.3%).

The most notable weak spot is 10th-grade science: biology proficiency sits at 58.3%, far below the district's 76.02% and the lowest among comparable nearby schools like John Champe (84.31%), Stone Bridge (82.98%), and Independence (80.51%). Chemistry and upper-level math also trail district averages. Riverside ranks fifth in its local cluster — behind Independence, John Champe, Briar Woods, and Stone Bridge, but ahead of Broad Run, Loudoun County, Potomac Falls, and Park View. With elite graduation outcomes, strong supports for diverse learners, and a few targeted areas for improvement, Riverside is a dependable choice for families in the Leesburg area.
