I was apart of the schools Center for the Arts program where I was subject to a great experience. I gained close friends and 4 years of inspirational exploration and travel. The school offered many different after school activities as well as artistic classes. The teachers made it easy to learn as well as come to them with concerns. I made the best memories attending the school.

It's kinda bad to go to unless you're in one of the specialties programs like IB or CFA, mainly due to the lack of caring from many students outside of these programs.

The best part about Henrico High is the fun activities we get to do. And also some of the teachers understand the outside activities would sometimes get in the way of us students turning in the work late.

I’m a freshman (class of 26), and it hasn’t even been a week and I love this school. The teachers have helped me adjust to the new environment.

The bullying is pretty good dealt with, but hoo boy are some of the kids here BAD. They really do not care, and the teachers at this point are jaded to the point where they don't really want to do anything. They're kind of lazy and some are really unorganized and lose student's papers ALL the time.....
