West Point High School is a four-year public high school located in West Point, Virginia serving the surrounding geographic area of 6.31 square miles. School aged children living outside the town of West Point are encouraged to apply as tuition students.
West Point High School was voted a Blue Ribbon School in 2012.
West Point is one of just two towns in Virginia to have a School division (terminology for a school district in Virginia) which is independent from the school division of the county in which it is located. (The other town with an independent school division is Colonial Beach, located in Westmoreland County in the Northern Neck region.) Whether or not such a division is healthy for the students (as opposed to merely the rather high salaried administrators) is a point of contention. Interestingly enough, West Point High School is the only school in its region of Virginia without a wrestling team. Teams for that ]sport exist at the following high schools that are within West Point's part of the state: King William, Middlesex, New Kent, King & Queen, Mathews, Gloucester, Lafayette, Poquoson, Lancaster and W&L, etc.
