Summary

Glen Allen High is a large public high school in Glen Allen, Virginia, serving about 1,939 students in grades 9–12 as part of Henrico County Public Schools. The school ranks 98th out of 331 Virginia high schools — the 70th percentile with a 4-star rating — which makes it a solid, above-average performer that stands out within a district ranked only 90th out of 131 districts statewide.

The most encouraging signals are graduation and attendance. Glen Allen graduates 95.5% of its students (versus 90.0% for the district and 92.3% for the state), and its dropout rate of 3.6% is roughly half the district average. Chronic absenteeism, at 13.4%, is also better than the state and district averages. Academically, the school shines in English and social studies: 11th graders hit 93.2% proficiency in reading, and 10th grade world history proficiency reached 90%, dramatically above the state's 35.5%. Biology scores are similarly strong. Math is the relative weak spot, especially for upperclassmen taking Algebra I, where scores dip below district levels.

Glen Allen sits in the middle of a highly stratified local market. It trails nearby Atlee High (#30), Deep Run High (#51), and Mills E. Godwin High (#79) but is well ahead of Douglas S. Freeman High (#225), Hermitage High (#264), John Randolph Tucker High (#267), and Henrico High (#289). Subgroup results are uneven: Hispanic and multiracial students perform notably well (87th and 85th percentiles statewide), while Asian students (37th percentile) and disabled students (38th percentile) show weaker outcomes. With spending of $8,869 per student — lower than several neighboring schools — Glen Allen delivers strong graduation and reading results at a moderate cost, though it has slipped from its former top-30 statewide ranking over the past decade.
