Henrico County Public Schools

The Henrico County Public Schools district in Virginia encompasses 68 schools, including 46 elementary schools, 12 middle schools, 9 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The district serves a diverse student population and has a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools based on factors like test scores, free and reduced lunch rates, and spending per student.

Some of the standout schools in the district include Deep Run High School, which consistently ranks among the top in the state, and several high-performing elementary schools like Shady Grove Elementary, Nuckols Farm Elementary, and Tuckahoe Elementary. These schools have exceptional test scores, particularly in math and reading, and relatively low free and reduced lunch rates.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with a clear correlation between socioeconomic status (as measured by free/reduced lunch rates) and student outcomes. Some of the lowest-performing schools, like Montrose Elementary, have much higher poverty rates and struggle with lower proficiency levels. Addressing these inequities will be a key challenge for the Henrico County Public Schools district moving forward.
