Community Lab School is a public high school serving grades 06–12 in Charlottesville. It is one of 25 current school records connected to Albemarle County Public Schools. NCES reports 177 students for 2024–25.
Among 326 high schools in Virginia with comparable records, this school is smaller than the reported median of 1,138 students. Its enrollment is at approximately the 4th percentile for that peer group. Size describes the campus, not instructional quality.

The two largest reported race and ethnicity groups are White (71.8%) and Hispanic or Latino (10.2%). English learners represent 2.1% of enrollment. Students served under IDEA represent 21.9%. These figures help families understand who the school serves; they are not rating inputs.
