  2. #2 Best Private High Schools in Henrico CountyCollegiate SchoolRichmond, VA·Private School·PK, K-12·Rating 4.12 out of 5 77 reviewsParent: We feel very fortunate that our children benefit from the incredible Collegiate community! They love their school so much, and we are thankful for the core values of love, respect, integrity, excellence, and inclusion that are modeled and emphasized. The teachers work tirelessly, perfecting their craft while encouraging and guiding our children. There is a high bar set for them—but the children meet it! In the middle school, in particular, our kids have blossomed! They’ve grown in their independence, and the teachers support them when they “mess up,” using it to help them see that it is okay to make mistakes and helping them along the journey of growth and learning. We also love the single-sex approach in middle school! Everything Collegiate does is well-thought out and purposeful....

There is a heavy focus on academics, while also ensuring that students are able to find clubs and extracurriculars that interest them. There are plenty of fun events that the school offers, which creates a passionate and energetic community of students. However, from what I have heard, there are some teachers that are not very acknowledging of students' lives outside of school.

  5. #2 Best Public High Schools in Henrico CountyMills E. Godwin High SchoolHenrico County Public Schools, VA·9-12·Rating 3.83 out of 5 398 reviewsJunior: I'm currently a junior at Godwin's Center for Medical Sciences, and it is a unique experience. I've found it valuable, as it provides many opportunities in the medical and broader STEM field, whether through research projects/internships or STEM-focused classes. Many AP classes are offered, but in such a competitive environment, there's a risk of overextending yourself. Outside of the Center, I've found a supportive community here at Godwin, especially in performing arts (choir, although our other performing arts programs are amazing), and there's lots of school pride, especially during football season. I've had great experiences in my classes with supportive teachers who love teaching, including rigorous ones. Still, there's also the fact that Godwin's an old school, with an old campus, a comparative lack of diversity compared to other schools in Henrico, and from a Center perspective, fewer opportunities/facilities compared to other Specialty Centers and the Governor's School....

Glen Allen High School also connects students, of all different backgrounds, together through school activities. For example, every year, the school puts together a competition for all grade levels known as Battle of the Classes.

  18. John Randolph Tucker High School9-12·Rating 4.03 out of 5 330 reviewsSenior: Overall, I have loved my experience at Tucker High School. Our student body is incredibly diverse, which is one of my favorite things about this school. We enjoy events like culture fairs and our annual Culture Fashion Show, among others. We also recently opened a new school building, which has been lovely. However, the new building has left us with cramped space, as not all teachers have their own classroom. Additionally, there are times when there is no space in the commons for me to sit and eat. This is partly because standing in the lunch line takes over half of my lunch break, which is only 25 minutes. Lastly, I am part of Tucker's Advanced College Academy, which allows students to earn their Associate's degree through dual enrollment credits.
