I enjoyed my experience at James River. The athletics are great and the clubs help me to be involved with my community. I have a lot of friends, but I find it hard to connect with the teachers in my school.

I had fun at James River Highschool. I made lots of friends and had awesome teachers who love to help their students in the best way. I am going to miss my school, but I know I will always be a knight.

James River is a major small town school. Everyone is very country and there are barely 400 students there. I only attend JRHS half a day because of Governor's School, but both of my afternoon teachers are really great. My English teacher has prepared me for life and college the most. She is very wise and all knowing. For being a small school, James River offers a good amount of AP and dual enrollment courses and and many clubs. The faculty is great and the principle is the best.

Our children all graduated from James River. They all have very fond memories of high school, and I was always impressed by the commitment and dedication of the teachers and staff. This school is a bright spot in Botetourt County schools.

There's nothing particularly wrong with James River High School, the biggest issue would be the students overall.
2/28/2023
I was very disappointed with the impersonal nature of communication from administration at this school following recent interaction. I am sure there are good people there, however, first impressions are lasting ones. I imagine courtesy and etiquette are considered obsolete. I would have expected bet...

I loved going here for high school! I learned so much about the subjects I took as well as myself as a person!
