Summary:
The 13 schools in zip code 22191 (Woodbridge, VA) are all part of Prince William County Public Schools, serving approximately 10,520 students across 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school in an area where two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.
The standout school is Mary G. Porter Traditional, ranked in the 97th percentile with a 5-star rating and an extraordinary 1.5% chronic absenteeism rate, far outpacing every other school in the zip code. At the other extreme, Freedom High — the area's only high school — sits in the 6th percentile with an 87.8% graduation rate, an 8.6% dropout rate, and test scores well below state averages in biology, geometry, and world history, while 35.9% of its students are chronically absent. Among the three middle schools, Rippon Middle is the strongest at the 34th percentile, though its on-grade 8th grade math proficiency (38.6%) still trails the state average of 46.9%.
Several high-poverty elementary schools outperform expectations: Martin Luther King Junior Elementary, Featherstone Elementary, and Belmont Elementary all earn 3-star ratings despite roughly 70% of students qualifying for free/reduced lunch. Chronic absenteeism closely tracks performance — the best schools have the lowest rates — and academic achievement declines as students advance: elementary schools average around the 40th percentile, middle schools around the 24th, and the high school at the 6th. Notably, higher spending and smaller classes don't guarantee results; R. Dean Kilby Elementary spends $13,390 per student yet ranks at the 20th percentile, while Mary G. Porter Traditional spends the least ($10,190) and ranks highest.
