[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are actually some nice, more suburban-like neighborhoods in the city of Richmond itself.  My sister lives in Westover Hills right across the river from downtown / Carytown.  They can easily walk/bike to tons of stuff, but their neighborhood is mostly SFHs (it actually has a similar to feel to some upper NW neighborhoods).[/quote]
But the public schools are terrible. [/quote]

I’m a Richmond Public School parent of an 8th grader and step kids who are post college but also went to RPS. I’m also a major advocate for the schools (I speak at every school board meeting and I’m on other advisory boards/councils).  If you want to go by only Great Schools ratings that’s fine - the schools are terrible.  If you aren’t scared of sending your kids to school with *black kids* then I’d be happy to tell you about schools that have intimate and incredibly supportive environments. [/quote]

OK. What are options for RPS that you would recommend for OP?

If you sent your kids to Maggie Walker, Richmond Community, Open, or Franklin Military Academy, it is an entirely different thing than the general enrollment high schools (Jefferson, Marshall, Wythe, Armstrong, and Huguenot.) [/quote]
