Summary:
The 23228 zip code area of Henrico County, Virginia is home to 7 schools serving grades K-12, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, all part of the Henrico County Public Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 89 out of 129 in Virginia with a 2-star rating, a few standout schools in the 23228 area demonstrate strong academic performance.
George H. Moody Middle School consistently ranks in the top half of Virginia middle schools with a 3-star rating, boasting 100% proficiency in Algebra I and a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7%. In contrast, Maude Trevvett Elementary also holds a 3-star rating and outperforms district and state averages in math, science, and reading, with 88.03% of 5th graders proficient or better in math. Meanwhile, Hermitage High School has a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate, though its 4.5% dropout rate is slightly higher than the state average.
However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the schools in this area. Schools with the highest rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, such as Dumbarton Elementary, tend to have the lowest test scores and rankings. Additionally, chronic absenteeism rates are high across all schools in the 23228 zip code, averaging 15.7%, which is likely a contributing factor to the lower academic achievement seen in many of these institutions.
