Summary

Warhill High is a comprehensive public high school in Williamsburg, VA, serving roughly 1,277 students in grades 9–12 as part of Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools, a district ranked 41st out of 131 in Virginia. Warhill High currently ranks 116th out of 331 Virginia high schools (65th percentile, 3 stars), placing it above Lafayette High (160th) but below Jamestown High (67th) in the same district. The school posts a 93.4% graduation rate, a 2.8% dropout rate, and a 9.6% chronic absenteeism rate — all better than Virginia's state averages.

The school's defining story is its attendance turnaround. Chronic absenteeism has plunged from 25.2% in 2021–2022 to just 9.6% in 2024–2025, one of the lowest rates in the area and far better than nearby Gloucester High (15.9%) or Bruton High (18.6%). Over that same period, Warhill climbed from the 42nd to the 65th percentile in statewide rankings. Academically, the school excels in science and upper-grade reading: 11th graders scored 91.3% proficient in English Reading and 79.3% in Biology, both well above state averages, and 9th-grade Geometry reached 92.9%. Warhill's English Learner students rank in the 76th percentile statewide — a genuine bright spot. The school achieves these results while spending about $8,410 per student, far less than Charles City County High ($18,265) or York High ($11,370).

Writing is the clearest area of concern, with 11th-grade Writing proficiency at 67.9% versus 79.9% statewide and well behind New Kent High (93.0%) and Jamestown High (89.5%). Tenth-grade Algebra I results — often reflecting retakes — are also weak at 58.3% compared to 69.9% statewide, and military-connected students rank in the 22nd percentile, a significant concern given the region's military presence. If Warhill can apply the same focus behind its attendance success to writing support, Algebra I intervention, and military-connected families, it has strong potential to keep climbing.
