Osbourn High

Summary:

Osbourn High is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Manassas, Virginia, part of the Manassas City Public Schools district. With a predominantly Hispanic student population of 70.9%, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools, earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Osbourn High's performance on state assessments is a key concern, with students significantly underperforming the state and district averages across subjects like Geometry and Biology. The school's rankings for subgroups like Hispanic students and students with disabilities are particularly low, highlighting achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Additionally, Osbourn High has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 67.33%, indicating the socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.

When compared to nearby schools like C.D. Hylton High, Charles J. Colgan Senior High, and Patriot High, which are part of the Prince William County Public Schools district, Osbourn High's performance is generally lower, with higher rankings and better student outcomes. The school's declining performance over the past 10 years suggests that it is struggling to keep pace with other high schools in Virginia, and it may indicate the need for comprehensive strategies to improve educational outcomes for its diverse student population.

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.
