Summary

Hermitage High is a public magnet high school located in Richmond, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,720 students. The school is part of the Henrico County Public Schools district, which is ranked 89 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hermitage High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools over the past decade, with a ranking between 233 and 310 out of around 325 schools.

Hermitage High consistently underperforms compared to the Henrico County and Virginia state averages on SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Hermitage High's proficiency rates were significantly lower than the county and state averages in Geometry (56.16% vs. 75.92% and 84.89%), Algebra I (57.62% vs. 72.52% and 80.65%), and Biology (57.05% vs. 61.13% and 70.86%) for 9th grade students. Additionally, Hermitage High has had a four-year graduation rate ranging from 82.4% to 92.8% over the past few years, which is lower than the Henrico County average of around 90%, and the school's dropout rate has been as high as 13.4%, significantly exceeding the county and state averages.

Hermitage High's academic performance and other key metrics lag significantly behind those of other magnet high schools in the Henrico County district, such as Mills E. Godwin High, Deep Run High, and Glen Allen High. These schools consistently outperform Hermitage High on SOL test scores, graduation rates, and other measures. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Hermitage High, coupled with the school's lower funding per student compared to nearby magnet schools, may be contributing factors to the school's underperformance.
