Summary:

Zip code 23135 contains exactly one school, Jamestown High, a public high school serving grades 9 through 12 in the Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools district.

Jamestown High is a high-performing school with standout results in several key areas. The graduation rate of 94.4% exceeds both the district (93.3%) and state (92.3%), while the dropout rate of 1.6% is dramatically lower than the state average of 5.0%. Chronic absenteeism is also remarkably low at 6.7%, less than half the state rate of 14.8%. Academically, the school excels in Geometry (98.4% proficiency), Algebra II (98.3%), English Reading (94.2%), Writing (88.1%), and 9th-grade Biology (96.4%). However, there are notable weaknesses. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade Algebra I proficiency fell to 66.7%, below the state average of 70.0%. Even more striking is the contrast in Biology: 9th graders scored 96.4% proficient while 11th graders scored just 52.6%, well below both district and state averages. Similarly, 11th-grade VA & US History proficiency was only 42.9% in 2024–2025, below the district (48.4%) but above the state (35.2%). These patterns suggest that upperclassmen in specific courses may be taking them for remediation or are on a non-advanced track, and this is an area worth investigating.

The school has maintained a consistent 4-star rating in state rankings over the past three years, though its relative position dipped in the most recent year. It ranked 67th of 331 schools (80th percentile) in 2025–2026, down from 39th of 328 (88th percentile) in 2024–2025, and up from 73rd of 329 in 2023–2024. With about one in four students (24.9%) qualifying for free or reduced lunch, the school serves a relatively affluent population. Per-student spending is $8,919 for the 2023–2024 school year. Overall, Jamestown High is an above-average institution with strong student engagement and academic excellence in many subjects, but targeted support for upper-level Biology, VA/US History, and 10th-grade Algebra I could help sustain its strong reputation and improve its ranking.
