Henrico County Public Schools (HCPS) has announced updates on school boundary adjustments following a School Board work session where members reviewed student enrollment data for the 2025–2026 academic year.
According to HCPS, updated enrollment data indicates a slight overall decline but an increase in middle school students. The School Board has adjusted the Quioccasin Middle School boundary proposal by removing neighborhoods in Sections 1 and 2 to prevent Tuckahoe Middle School from exceeding capacity, while Section 3 remains under review. The Ruby F. Carver Elementary scenario was revised to keep students transitioning from Maybeury and Carver together through middle school. Students in certain grades affected by future adjustments may remain at their current schools. Families can check the HCPS school locator tool for boundary impacts.
This fall, the School Board is reviewing possible boundary changes to balance enrollment, improve facility use, and plan for future growth. Scenarios include maps and data outlining potential effects on each school. Community input continues through town halls, surveys, and an October 23 public hearing, with a final decision expected December 18. Enrollment projections show a 1.9% increase between 2024 and 2028, and school capacity assessments will ensure adequate space and staffing.
The Henrico County School Board consists of five elected representatives serving one of the county’s magisterial districts: Marcie F. Shea (Tuckahoe), Madison T. Irving (Three Chopt), Kristi B. Kinsella (Brookland), Ryan E. Young (Fairfield), and Alicia S. Atkins (Varina). According to HCPS, board meetings are generally held at the New Bridge Auditorium at 6:30 p.m., with agendas and supporting documents posted in advance on BoardDocs, a web-based platform that also provides audio recordings and policies.
Henrico County Public Schools serves more than 330,000 residents across Henrico County, Virginia, operating 74 schools and program centers reflecting the county’s geographic and social diversity. The division is recognized for academic excellence and innovative programs guided by its strategic plan “Journey to 2030,” which emphasizes academic achievement, supportive learning environments, student health, and staff development. HCPS aims to empower every learner through engaging experiences that prepare students for future careers and personal growth under the leadership of Superintendent Dr. Amy E. Cashwell.
