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.

I like the small involved community at James River High School. I would have liked to be more informed about college and classes.

Most teachers are very friendly and helpful. Getting help with finding colleges, scholarships, and paying for college credits offered by the school could definitely improve, however.

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!
