Best Public Schools in Zip Code 23294


Summary:

The 23294 zip code area in Henrico County, Virginia is home to three diverse schools: two elementary schools (Skipwith Elementary and R.C. Longan Elementary) and one high school (John Randolph Tucker High). While the high school generally performs above the Henrico County Public Schools and Virginia state averages on standardized tests, the two elementary schools struggle to meet these benchmarks, particularly in core subjects like Mathematics and Science.

The elementary schools in the 23294 zip code area face significant economic challenges, with Skipwith Elementary and R.C. Longan Elementary having very high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 89.17% and 90.63% respectively. This high level of economic disadvantage among the student populations may contribute to the lower academic performance observed at these schools. In contrast, John Randolph Tucker High has a more diverse student population and a free/reduced lunch rate of 59.76%.

Despite the high school's generally strong academic performance, its statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 200th out of 325 Virginia high schools in 2021-2022 to 246th out of 329 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. This trend warrants further investigation to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's declining ranking. Overall, the schools in the 23294 zip code area present a mix of strengths and challenges, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic and economic disparities observed across the different school levels.
