City - Richmond

Featuring a historic charm and progressive attitude, Richmond is the capital city of Virginia. Nicknamed the “Creative Culture,” art, history, and a strong sense of community define this eclectic city. Walk through the cobblestone streets to find murals, sculptures, and other forms of public art decorating local businesses and storefronts. From the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts to the Poe Museum, the arts are represented throughout the entire city. Not just for art lovers, foodies thrive in Richmond. The city has been crowned as one of the best spots in the country for great eats, and residents can get a taste of all it has to offer through the countless local restaurants that encompass every cuisine from southern comfort to Korean barbeque. With all the hustle and bustle of the city, residents need an escape into nature, and the city certainly provides. The James River runs through Richmond allowing thrill seeking residents to explore the whitewater rapids.

School data provided by 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.
