Annandale Students Demonstrate Exceptional Academic Achievement

high five

Annandale Students, Parents, and Community::

I am excited to share that Annandale High School has once again performed at the highest levels in academic achievement, continued to reduce achievement gaps, and increase student engagement and outcomes, as outlined by the Virginia Department of Education. In fact, our students continue to surpass all expectations, making Annandale the top-performing school in FCPS, based on the difference between predicted and actual results.

The foundation of our work at Annandale High School is our relentless focus on our priorities of relationships & support, high quality instruction, and strong collaboration. This approach has ensured that students spend the majority of class time meaningfully engaged—reading, writing, discussing, and thinking. The result is exceptional performance across multiple subjects, with a 95% success rate in English, a 90% success rate in Math, and 70% success rate in Science.

More impressive, our success extends across all student subgroups, including multilingual learners, economically disadvantaged students, and students with disabilities. By focusing on our priorities, we have been able to close achievement gaps and ensure that every student can thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Annandale High School is truly a place where we are changing the trajectory of the lives of our students. The success we continue to have demonstrates that our commitment to equity and excellence is paying off, and I am excited to continue this journey with our incredible community.

Thank you for your continued support of Atom Nation. Go Atoms!
