Richmond public schools

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

We contemplating moving to Richmond for various reasons. We've currently in Arlington in the Yorktown HS district of schools, our youngest one will be starting in elementary school in a few years. Just started researching Richmond schools so thought I'd check with fellow DCUM'ers about good school districts in Richmond-area and if any are comparable to the YHS-district of schools?

Thank you.

Are you committed to Richmond proper?

In Chesterfield County, Bettie Weaver, old Hundred and Woolly ES (and the zoned MS/HS for each) are good.

In Henrico County anything that goes to Deep Creek HS.

Avoid Richmond City Schools unless you would be convertible here with DCPS.

We moved from Henrico to Fairfax and preferred the Henrico schools. It’s been a while but there was a lot we liked about Richmond & we could get to DC when needed.

I'm amused someone said Freeman is the only HS worth considering. That wasn't true 35 years ago when I was there!

I taught in Henrico for two years over a decade ago and I think most of the schools there were pretty good. Richmond City schools don’t have a great reputation, with the exception of Maggie Walker Governor’s School.

Avoid Richmond City Schools no matter what.

Look into school pyramids in Henrico's west end.
