SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 331 Virginia High Schools

Better than 20% of Virginia high schools

Summary

Hermitage High is a large public high school in Richmond, Virginia, serving 1,719 students in grades 9–12 as part of Henrico County Public Schools. The school's state ranking for 2025–2026 is 264th of 331 Virginia high schools, placing it in the 20th percentile — a meaningful improvement from the previous year when it sat in the 5th percentile. About 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, making it one of the higher-poverty high schools in the region. The school graduates students at a rate of 86.8%, below the district rate of 90.0% and the state rate of 92.3%.

One of the clearest bright spots is attendance. Chronic absenteeism has fallen dramatically from 29.8% in 2021–2022 to 13.8% in 2024–2025 — now better than the district average of 14.1% and the state average of 14.8%. Test score data also reveal a "catch-up" pattern: while 9th-grade math scores are low, students taking end-of-course exams in 11th and 12th grades often perform at or above state averages. For example, 90% of 11th graders passed Algebra I compared to 78.6% statewide, and 84.3% of 11th graders passed Biology versus 63.5% statewide. Subgroup performance has also improved, with African American students moving from the 13th to the 52nd percentile statewide and multiracial students from the 27th to the 62nd percentile.

Nearby schools with low poverty rates such as Deep Run High, Atlee High, and Mills E. Godwin High rank in the 70th–91st percentile statewide, while high-poverty schools like Henrico High and John Randolph Tucker High cluster in the bottom 20%. Hermitage spends about $9,249 per student, similar to other Henrico schools but lower than high-poverty schools in Richmond City such as Thomas Jefferson High ($14,341) and John Marshall High ($15,985). The biggest challenges ahead are early high school math proficiency, dropout rates (9.4% vs. 5.0% statewide), and closing the gap with affluent schools just a few miles away. Overall, Hermitage is showing meaningful improvement and is trending in the right direction.
