GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Overall, John Randolph Tucker High School is a great school. It places a focus on student-led activities, which allows for a lot of amazing things like the fashion shows and culture fairs.

Finding a teacher who genuinely cares about their job and the kids (and isn't burned out) is rare anymore. At least in the Henrico County school district. If there are any of these teachers at Tucker, I haven't come across one yet in the 3 years my child has been there. The amount of bullying, fight...
