Summary:

Mount Vernon High is a public high school located in Alexandria, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,959 students, and is part of the Fairfax County Public Schools district.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (53.85%) compared to the surrounding schools, which range from 15.09% to 44.58% Hispanic students, Mount Vernon High consistently ranks in the bottom 25% of Virginia high schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger. This is in stark contrast to nearby schools like Thomas Jefferson High for Science and Technology, which ranks in the top 1% of Virginia high schools. Mount Vernon High's proficiency rates on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests are significantly lower than the Fairfax County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 15.63% of 10th-grade students being proficient or better in Geometry, compared to 48.03% in the district and 36% statewide.

The data also reveals that Mount Vernon High has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 58.13% to 59.78% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. While the school's spending per student, ranging from $11,775 to $12,194 over the past few years, is higher than the state average, it is lower than some of the nearby schools. These factors, combined with the school's lower academic performance, raise questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources to support student learning and address the significant achievement gap between Mount Vernon High and the surrounding high-performing schools.

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.
