Henrico High's extremely high free and reduced-price lunch rates, reaching nearly 90% in recent years, suggest that the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population. When compared to nearby schools, such as Open High, a public school in the Richmond City Public Schools district, and Mechanicsville High and Atlee High, both in the Hanover County Public Schools district, Henrico High's performance is generally lower. These factors highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the school's academic challenges and improve outcomes for all students.
