SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 331 Virginia High Schools

Better than 5% of Virginia high schools

Summary

Unity Reed High is a large comprehensive public high school in Manassas, VA, serving about 2,042 students in grades 9–12 as part of Prince William County Public Schools. For the 2025–2026 school year, the school ranks 316 out of 331 Virginia high schools, placing it in the bottom 5 percent of the state. This is not a one-year dip: Unity Reed has ranked in the bottom 7–8 percent of Virginia high schools for five consecutive years, declining from the 19th percentile as recently as 2020–2021.

The biggest concerns for parents center on graduation, attendance, and academic achievement. Unity Reed's on-time graduation rate is 79.0%, compared with 94.2% for the district and 92.3% statewide, and its dropout rate of 16.3% is roughly four times the state average of 5.0%. Nearby schools tell a very different story — Battlefield High graduates 99.1% of students on time and Patriot High 98.7%. Chronic absenteeism affects 31.0% of Unity Reed students, more than double the state average of 14.8%, though it has improved from a pandemic-era peak of 46.0%. SOL proficiency also lags well behind: 11th-grade reading stands at 69.3% versus 87.4% districtwide, and 10th-grade biology proficiency is 38.3% compared with 68.9% statewide.

One of the most striking findings is that Osbourn Park High, just 3.2 miles away with nearly identical economic demographics, performs substantially better on nearly every measure, suggesting school-specific practices and climate play a major role. There are some genuine bright spots in math: students taking Algebra I in upper grades post proficiency rates above state averages, and 9th-grade Geometry proficiency reaches 90.5%. However, with per-student spending of $11,781 and a student-teacher ratio of 15.6 that are comparable to higher-performing neighbors, Unity Reed's challenges appear tied to student engagement and attendance rather than a lack of resources.

Don't go completely on the numbers. This is a great school with caring staff who push the students to do well. Our diversity is our strength. Close Quote

I love Stonewall. My oldest graduated from here and my youngest will as well. I couldn't be happier. Close Quote

One of the most misunderstood schools in PWCS. IB is challenging. Diversity is everywhere at the school (student flyers and posters, dances, assemblies, field trips, etc.). SJHS students may be more prepared for the job market than other students because a lot of them already have jobs to help their families and the community. A strong family atmosphere among staff and students. Close Quote

As a former student of SJHS (just graduated last year) I can say this school is outstanding. And yes there may be many students, but all teachers in all subjects will gladly stay after school as long as you need them! The IB programme is great, and really prepares you for college level classes. Some students complain about too much work, but in the end they all admit it was worth it. This school is very safe, and for all the time I was there, there was never a threat to any student's security. All (okay...most) students are very kind, and all the teachers are highly qualified. A student will never fail if they try, because you are given plenty of opportunities. This school is not based around tests, but the overall knowledge and understanding of what they are learning. I would highly recommend this school to any high schooler willing to work hard in order to be successful. Close Quote

This school has too many students and not enough teachers to properly train and educate students who are not receiving or processing the learning they need to know.
My child's class has over 500 people. If my child is going to receive the proper education for the understanding of being able to show proficiency in an area of lack there needs to be a system in place that not only helps in learning the material needed to pass, but also being influenced to do extra learning at home instead of doing the bare minimum of homework, then watching tv or playing on the computer.
