Summary

Twin Hickory Elementary in Glen Allen, VA, serves 516 students in grades PK-5 as part of Henrico County Public Schools, ranking among the top 10% of elementary schools in Virginia with a 91st-percentile state ranking and a 5-star rating.

The school's academic performance is well above district and state averages. In the most recent testing year, Twin Hickory Elementary students posted an average proficiency rate of about 88.5% across all SOL subjects, compared to roughly 67.1% for the district and 71.7% statewide. Some of the most striking results include 4th grade reading at 93.41% proficiency and 3rd grade math at 91.57%. The school also keeps chronic absenteeism very low at 6.4%, less than half the district rate, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7, lower than most nearby schools. While Twin Hickory is an excellent school, several neighbors post even higher rankings, including Rivers Edge Elementary at the 98th percentile and Nuckols Farm Elementary and Gayton Elementary at the 92nd percentile. Twin Hickory achieves its results while serving a somewhat higher share of economically disadvantaged students (20.74% free/reduced-price lunch) than those close peers.

One of the school's most distinctive strengths is its work with English Language Learners, who rank in the 92nd percentile statewide. Historically, Twin Hickory has been an elite school, frequently ranking in the 95th–98th percentile between 2015 and 2020; after a dip to the 85th percentile in 2023-2024, it has recovered to the top 10%. The school's main areas to watch are 5th grade scores, which fluctuate year to year, and performance among low-income students, who rank in the 62nd percentile. Overall, Twin Hickory delivers outstanding outcomes in a highly competitive cluster of excellent schools, making it a strong choice for families in the Glen Allen area.

The teachers are absolutely excellent. My family moved here from a under-performing school and my cildren's SOL scores jumped significantly. They dont allow any children to fall behind. Communication is excellent. I would highly recommend. We also love the diversity. Close Quote
