The magazine states that it based its Top 25 rankings on data from the Virginia Department of Education, evaluating advanced diploma rates, graduation rates, chronic absenteeism, SOL advanced pass rates, and AP/IB enrollment across 10 Northern Virginia school divisions.
No high schools from Prince William or Stafford County cracked the top 20 list of Northern Virginia Magazine’s best high schools. Battlefield High School near Haymarket and Gainesville High School, both in Prince William County, ranked 21st and 24th, respectively.
