Summary

C.D. Hylton High is a large public high school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving 1,859 students in grades 9–12 as part of Prince William County Public Schools. Hylton's clearest strength is graduation: its 95.3% graduation rate beats both the district (94.2%) and state (92.3%) averages, and its 3.0% dropout rate is well below state levels. Among nearby schools with similar economic profiles, only Woodbridge High graduates a larger share of students. Yet Hylton's overall state ranking is far weaker than several neighbors with comparable demographics. Potomac High, just 5.4 miles away, ranks 93 spots higher despite nearly identical poverty and attendance rates — a sign that Hylton's outcomes are not predetermined.

Academically, Hylton is sharply split. Ninth-grade Geometry proficiency is an outstanding 98.65%, the best among nearby schools, and social studies is a consistent strength: 11th-grade VA/US History proficiency is 62.5%, far above the state's 34.5%. But 10th-grade results are concerning. Geometry proficiency sits at just 19.35%, Algebra I at 50%, and Biology at 50.91%, all well below state averages. Chronic absenteeism has improved from 30.4% to 20.4% in two years, but still affects one in five students.

Hylton spends $10,623 per student, more than several higher-ranked nearby schools, and maintains a competitive 15.9 student-teacher ratio. The school serves African American and English learner students relatively well, ranking in the 55th and 60th percentiles statewide. The biggest red flag is for military-connected students, who rank in the 4th percentile — a persistent pattern that school leaders should investigate closely.
