Schools in Zip Code 20169

ZIP code 20169 in Haymarket, Virginia, is served by 6 schools in Prince William County Public Schools — one high school (Battlefield High), one middle school (Ronald Wilson Reagan Middle), and four elementary schools (Haymarket, Samuel L. Gravely Jr., J.W. Alvey, and Mountain View) — enrolling a combined 6,216 students in an area marked by low poverty and low chronic absenteeism. Every school in the ZIP earns at least 4 stars, and four of six hold 5-star ratings, placing the cluster well above typical school systems. Chronic absenteeism runs below the state average of 14.8% at every school, and free/reduced lunch rates range from 9.56% to 22.53%, reflecting an affluent, stable community.

J.W. Alvey Elementary is the ZIP's clear academic star, ranking 51st in Virginia (95th percentile) with roughly 91% average SOL proficiency and the area's lowest poverty rate. Ronald Wilson Reagan Middle is equally impressive at the secondary level, ranking 42nd (90th percentile) with 100% proficiency in 8th-grade Geometry and 7th-grade Algebra I, while Battlefield High posts a near-perfect 99.1% graduation rate and a 0.7% dropout rate. At the other end, Mountain View Elementary is the weakest school — despite the best attendance (6.8% chronic absenteeism), the lowest student-teacher ratio (16.3:1), and the highest per-student spending ($12,592), it has fallen more than 200 places in the state rankings and is the only school below 5 stars. Haymarket Elementary, a former top-40 school, remains strong but slipped from 37th to 110th in Virginia.

Two quirks stand out. Reagan Middle's regular 7th-grade math proficiency (46.5%) sits below the state average, even as its advanced math courses post near-perfect scores — a sign that top students are accelerated out of general math. Similarly, Battlefield High's 10th-grade geometry and biology EOC scores (33% and 64%) are dramatically lower than its 9th-grade scores, likely reflecting test-timing and retake patterns rather than weak instruction. Overall, families in 20169 can expect excellent schools, elite graduation outcomes, and low poverty, but should watch trend lines at Mountain View and Haymarket. For parents prioritizing elementary education, J.W. Alvey is the clear top choice.
