About the school

As one of four high schools in the Albemarle County public school district, Albemarle High School serves students primarily from northern Charlottesville. [6] It is the largest school in the district. [7] Its feeder middle schools include Burley Middle School, Journey Middle School, and Lakeside Middle School. [8]

Albemarle formerly served as the host school for the county's four-year STEM magnet program, the Math, Science, and Engineering Academy (MESA). [9] Following the district-wide cancellation of selective high school magnet programs in the 2021-2022 school year, [10] MESA was replaced with the Solve Studio, a non-selective three-year pathway program also at Albemarle. [11]

The school is currently ranked 147th within Virginia, and 7,295th in the United States. [12]
