Summary:

West Potomac High is a public high school in Alexandria, Virginia, serving 2,764 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 130 school districts in Virginia.

West Potomac High has a diverse student population, with 32.96% White, 16.46% African American, 40.16% Hispanic, 5.86% Asian, and 4.2% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in Algebra I, West Potomac High's proficiency rates range from 78.15% to 86.67%, compared to the district's 69.42% to 81.82% and the state's 72.72% to 79.36%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, with a 1 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Potomac High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. White students and military-connected students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 50 and top 10 in the state, respectively. In contrast, Asian, African American, Hispanic, English Language Learner, and low socioeconomic status students perform below the state average. The school's proximity to high-performing schools, such as Thomas Jefferson High for Science and Technology, highlights the potential for collaboration and sharing of best practices to improve West Potomac High's performance. Additionally, the school's relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (47.72%) and lower per-student spending ($10,661) compared to the district average may contribute to its academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
