Summary:
The city of Glen Allen, Virginia is home to 15 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Henrico County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 88 out of 130 school districts in Virginia, the data reveals a diverse set of schools with varying levels of academic performance.
Several schools stand out as high-performing, including Deep Run High School, a public magnet school that ranks 58th out of 329 Virginia high schools and earns a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Short Pump Middle School and Rivers Edge Elementary also excel, ranking 50th out of 417 and 19th out of 1,114 Virginia schools in their respective categories, with 4- and 5-star ratings.
However, the data also reveals stark differences in performance between the highest- and lowest-performing schools. For example, in 3rd grade Mathematics, Rivers Edge Elementary had 91.34% proficiency, while Longdale Elementary had only 55.38% proficiency. This disparity appears to be correlated with socioeconomic status, as the schools with the lowest free/reduced lunch rates tend to have the highest test scores. Overall, the analysis of Glen Allen's schools highlights the potential for excellence, as well as the need for targeted interventions to address the achievement gaps within the district.
