Summary

Located in Glen Allen, Virginia, Deep Run High is a large, four-year public high school serving 1,992 students in grades 9–12 as part of Henrico County Public Schools. In 2025–2026, it ranked 51st of 331 Virginia high schools (85th percentile) with a 4-star rating, making it the highest-ranked high school in its immediate area — well ahead of Mills E. Godwin High (79th), Glen Allen High (98th), and James River High (187th).

This school's student outcomes are among the strongest in the region. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 97.9% towers over the district (90.0%) and state (92.3%) averages, and its dropout rate is just 0.8%. Chronic absenteeism sits at 5.2% — less than half the state average of 14.8% and far below nearby Douglas S. Freeman High (17.2%) and John Randolph Tucker High (21.2%). Test scores are equally impressive: 97.1% proficiency in 11th-grade English reading, 100% in 10th-grade writing, and 96.3% in 9th-grade biology — all dramatically above state averages. The picture is not perfect, however: 9th-grade earth science (63.5%) and 10th-grade algebra II (60.0%) trail the state average.

Deep Run High is also an efficiency story. It spends $8,412 per student — less than Hermitage High ($9,249), Mills E. Godwin High ($9,132), and most other Henrico peers — while carrying the area's largest class sizes at 19.6 students per teacher. The school serves a relatively affluent population, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 13.4% compared with 30.4% at Glen Allen High and 43.5% at Douglas S. Freeman High. It was once a top-10 Virginia school — peaking at 4th in 2016–2017 — and while it has settled into the 51–60 range, it remains consistently high-performing and efficient. Its support for English learners (ranked 7th statewide) is exceptional, while supporting students with disabilities remains an area for continued attention. For families seeking elite graduation outcomes, a strong attendance culture, and top-tier test scores in most subjects, Deep Run High is a compelling choice.

What people are saying

by a student
Wednesday, September 18, 2013

I graduated from Deep Run in '12. I disliked it very much. From an educational standpoint DRHS is an Above Average high school if you are a "normal" student, but as a student with disabilities I believe the education I receive was watered down just because I had an IEP, instead of taught in new and different ways I was stuck in a classroom with disruptive students who could care less about their education. They taught us all year so that we could pass a test at the end of the course and that was all they cared about. From a social standpoint I was tortured almost everyday with some form of bulling. Because I did not look the right way or have the right clothes I was immediately an outcast and stayed that way for 4 years. None of the Bulling that was reported resulted in any disciplinary action, DRHS likes to sweep incidents under the rug and pretend it never happened, instead of dealing with them. Bulling is a huge problem at DRHS, during my four year I had "holy water" thrown at me in the halls, asked to prom as a joke, and they joked about my weight and medical problems all the time. DR is not a bad school, but if you are "different" it can be a very hard place to attend school Close Quote
