Varina High has the largest student population and the highest percentage of African American students at 73.59%, as well as the highest rate of free/reduced lunch recipients at 87.12%. Both Varina High and John Rolfe Middle have consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of their respective grade levels in Virginia, with 0-star ratings from SchoolDigger, and their test scores are significantly below the Henrico County and state averages.

The data suggests that the 23231 zip code area faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with all of the schools having very high percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, ranging from 87.12% to 89.73%. Additionally, the schools in this area have a disproportionately high percentage of African American students compared to the Henrico County and Virginia averages, pointing to potential racial disparities in the education system. The variation in spending per student across the schools also suggests that there may be inequities in resource allocation within the district.
