Echo Lake Elementary is the standout elementary school, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide with roughly 87.8% average SOL proficiency, the lowest chronic absenteeism in the area at 3.9%, and strong scores in 5th-grade math, reading, and science. Glen Allen Elementary also performs well at the 83rd percentile with 85.1% average proficiency. Short Pump Middle is the top middle school, ranking in the 80th percentile with 84.1% average proficiency and impressive advanced math results — nearly all students score 98-99% in Algebra I and Geometry. Glen Allen High, the only high school in the zip code, posts a 95.5% graduation rate and a 3.6% dropout rate, both better than district and state averages, and its SOL proficiency jumped from 78.5% to 86.3% in one year. At the other end of the spectrum, Longdale Elementary ranks in the 5th percentile with roughly 46.6% average proficiency, high chronic absenteeism at 17.1%, and high poverty with 89.3% free/reduced lunch eligibility.

Poverty is strongly associated with performance in this area, but not perfectly — Springfield Park Elementary, despite a 90.5% free/reduced lunch rate, ranks in the 62nd percentile with 77.4% average proficiency, outperforming the state average in several subjects and providing a model for high-poverty, high-performing schools. Chronic absenteeism is also a key differentiator: schools with the lowest rates tend to have the highest scores. Interestingly, more spending does not automatically mean better results — Longdale spends the most at $11,699 per student yet has the lowest scores, while Short Pump Middle spends $9,045 and performs far better. Advanced math is a bright spot even at Hungary Creek Middle, where Algebra I proficiency reaches 94-100% and Geometry 100% despite lower grade-level math scores. The district-level rating masks local strength: while Henrico County Public Schools ranks in the 31st percentile of Virginia districts, several 23060 schools rank in the 70th-89th percentiles.
