  Quantico Middle High School is a public secondary school on Marine Corps Base Quantico, and in unincorporated Prince William County, Virginia. It is a part of the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA).
  
  ## History
  
  It originated from the Quantico Post School, an elementary through high school on the base. A dedicated secondary school building opened in 1962. The sixth grade was moved to Quantico High in 1988. Quantico Middle School was administratively separated in 1989 with a new separate entrance, but the middle and high schools combined into Quantico Middle High School in 1997.
  
  By 2011 the DOD considered the Quantico Middle High building to be in a "failing" condition. Plans were there for a new building to open in 2015, with a price tag of $44.8 million. However, this building has been delayed and has still not opened as of 2021.
  
  ## Student body
  
  Quantico Middle/High School had 300 students enrolled as of 2015, which has led to smaller than average class sizes.
  
  In 2020 it had about 350 students.
