Summary

Patriot High is a public magnet high school located in Nokesville, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,067 students. It is part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, which is ranked 42 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Patriot High consistently ranks among the top high schools in Virginia, with a statewide ranking between 14 and 61 over the past 10 years. It has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period, indicating strong academic achievement. The school performs exceptionally well for certain student subgroups, ranking in the top 25 Virginia high schools for African American and Hispanic students, and in the top 40 for female students. Patriot High also has a very high 4-year graduation rate, ranging from 91.6% to 97.9% over the past 5 years, and a low dropout rate between 1.5% and 6.8% during the same period.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Battlefield High, Charles J. Colgan Senior High, and Osbourn Park High, Patriot High generally outperforms them in terms of academic rankings, test scores, graduation rates, and student group performance. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate has been increasing over the past few years, from 13.3% in 2023-2024 to 20% in 2022-2023, which is an area the school may want to focus on to improve student engagement and attendance.

Incredible programs available and can be enrolled in more than one if electives allow (i.e. son in AP Honors and Engineering and daughter plans to be in AP Honors, Culinary and Early Childhood Education). Athletic dept. is wonderful. Marching Band is PHENOMENAL!!!!!. Great facility. Feel very blessed to have my kids attending. Close Quote
