Henrico County is served by a single public school district which enrolled over fifty thousand students during the most recent school year. According to Virginia Department of Education data, enrollment reached approximately 50,464 students for the 2023-24 academic year—a slight increase from previous years. The county’s schools are diverse, with Black students making up about one-third of enrollment and white students accounting for nearly another third. Deep Run High School reported the highest student population among secondary schools, while Holladay Elementary had the largest pre-kindergarten enrollment.
The upcoming open house provides an opportunity for families across this diverse school system to learn more about youth engagement programs focusing on science education, wellness initiatives and agricultural experiences.
