Centreville High's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, ranking as high as 93rd out of 327 Virginia high schools in 2020-2021 but dropping to 163rd out of 329 in 2023-2024. The school generally performs better in Algebra I, Algebra II, and Biology compared to the Fairfax County and Virginia averages, but lags behind in Geometry and Chemistry. Centreville High's rankings for different student subgroups vary, with the school performing well for Asian and multi-racial students but struggling with African American, Hispanic, and low socioeconomic status students. The school's increasing percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients and higher student-teacher ratio compared to the district average may also warrant attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Centreville High's performance is generally on par with or slightly below other high schools in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, such as Fairfax High and Woodson High. However, the school lags behind the higher-performing Robinson Secondary, which is a magnet school in the district.

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.
