Summary

Rappahannock High serves 544 students in grades 8 through 12 in Warsaw, VA, as part of Richmond County Public Schools, making it the largest of the four nearby high schools in this comparison. The school currently ranks 174th out of 331 Virginia high schools (47th percentile), placing it ahead of its local peers: Essex High, Northumberland High, and Westmoreland High. While Rappahannock's best recent year was 2020-2021, when it ranked 90th statewide, it has since held steady in the 157-185 range — still the strongest all-around performer in the immediate area.

Where Rappahannock truly shines is in getting students across the finish line. Its 98.3% graduation rate and 1.6% dropout rate beat the state averages of 92.3% and 5.0% respectively, and outperform every nearby school. Chronic absenteeism is the lowest in the group at 13.4% — down from 21.4% two years earlier — and below the state average of 14.8%. Academically, the school excels in advanced math: 8th-grade Algebra I (96% proficient), 8th-grade Geometry (100%), and 9th-grade Algebra II (100%) all exceed state averages. Tenth-grade Biology proficiency (78.5%) also tops the state (68.9%) and all three neighboring high schools. Notably, with 86.4% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch, economically disadvantaged students perform above the school's overall statewide percentile, and Hispanic students rank at the 71st percentile in Virginia.

The picture is more mixed in other areas. On-grade-level 8th-grade math proficiency is just 30.65% compared to the state's 46.86%, and 11th-grade reading (82.86%) trails the state (88.13%) and Essex High (91.57%). Eighth-grade reading, science, and civics also fall below state averages. Because the school serves grades 8 through 12 — while neighboring high schools start at 9th grade — these middle-school results factor into its overall profile. On efficiency, Rappahannock spends $8,883 per student, roughly $3,400 less than Northumberland High and Westmoreland High, yet achieves a higher graduation rate, lower absenteeism, and a higher statewide rank. The school's grade span and strong completion metrics make it a meaningful option for families across the region.
