Summary:

Zip code 20181 (Nokesville, Virginia) includes 5 schools serving approximately 5,701 students — three high schools (Patriot High, Kettle Run High, and Brentsville District High) and two elementary schools (Greenville Elementary and The Nokesville School) — with no standalone middle school. The area straddles two districts: Prince William County Public Schools and Fauquier County Public Schools, which creates meaningful differences in curriculum and assessment across schools that sit just minutes apart.

Patriot High is the clear academic leader among the high schools, ranking 36th in the state (89th percentile) with a 98.7% graduation rate and SOL proficiency scores that top state averages in 11th-grade reading, writing, and 9th-grade Algebra I and Geometry. Greenville Elementary is the top elementary performer, ranking in the 83rd percentile, and posts the zip's lowest free/reduced lunch rate (11.6%) alongside strong 5th-grade math and science scores. Kettle Run High boasts a perfect 100% graduation rate and 0% dropout rate with low chronic absenteeism, but its math proficiency lags state averages, which explains its mid-pack 64th-percentile ranking. Brentsville District High, despite spending the most per student at $13,226, shows the weakest academic results with concerning 12th-grade reading (47.62%) and 9th-grade Algebra I (69.06%) scores.

The Nokesville School offers a math acceleration paradox: 100% of its 8th graders pass Algebra I and Geometry, yet only 33.75% of 7th graders and 46.75% of 8th graders are proficient in grade-level math. Chronic absenteeism is a notable bright spot across the entire zip code — every school falls below the 14.8% state average, from Greenville's 10.6% to Brentsville's 14.2%. Parents should also note the wide disparity in 12th-grade reading scores, which range from Kettle Run's 92% down to Brentsville's 47.62%, even though all three high schools exceed state averages in 11th-grade reading. Overall, this zip code offers strong graduation outcomes and attendance, but academic proficiency varies dramatically by school and subject.
