10/30/2024
James River has a lot of school spirit. I enjoy being involved in as many school activities and attend as many home games as possible. I look forward to coming to school because I feel safe and at home here. I love that I feel included and at home at James River. I transferred here my sophomore year and felt very welcomed. One thing I would change is that our school have more involvement from students outside of school.

I went to James River High School, and it was amazing. The teachers were helpful and understanding, everyone is nice there and are also willing to help prepare you for college.
8/23/2020
I absolutely love James River High School. The staff members are always so nice and caring. The only thing I would change is a select few of the staff because they don't seem like they always care about the education of the student in the best interest of the student.

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!
