Summary:
The 23075 zip code area in Virginia is home to 3 public schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 high school. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as all three schools are performing well below state and district averages on key metrics like test scores and school rankings.
Highland Springs High School is the lowest performing, ranking in the bottom 10% of Virginia high schools and receiving 0-1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school has very low proficiency rates on state assessments, particularly in subjects like Chemistry, Earth Science, and US/VA History. The two Highland Springs Elementary and Fair Oaks Elementary schools also rank in the bottom 3% of Virginia elementary schools and have proficiency rates well below state and district averages in math, reading, and science.
Across all three schools, there are some concerning trends - extremely high percentages of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch (87-89%), a lack of racial diversity with overwhelmingly African American student populations, and higher-than-average spending per student that does not translate to improved outcomes. Addressing the systemic challenges in this Henrico County Public Schools district will require a comprehensive, multi-faceted approach focused on improving instructional quality, school leadership, community engagement, and access to resources for students and families.
