However, the school's student population is predominantly white, with around 88-90% of students identifying as white over the past 3 years. While Poquoson High performs well across various student subgroups, including female students, male students, and military-connected students, its performance for disabled students and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, ranking in the middle or bottom half of Virginia high schools.
Compared to nearby schools in the York County and Hampton City school districts, Poquoson High's academic performance is generally stronger, with higher rankings and better SOL assessment results. However, the school's racial diversity is notably different from the more racially diverse nearby schools, such as York High, Woodside High, and Bethel High. Additionally, Poquoson High's low free and reduced lunch rate, ranging from 14.47% to 18.99% over the past 3 years, stands in contrast to the much higher rates (over 85%) seen in many of the nearby schools.
