Huguenot High School

I personally graduated from this school with an Advanced Studies Diploma. The teachers are just fine. They take extra initiative if the child will let them. I do know that a lot of the students do come from poorer neighborhoods. I did, and there where no problems in the school. But one main issue is that Richmond City schools need more funding. The state needs to take some of the money from Henrico and Chesterfield and use it for the poorer kids, not just the 'rich kids'.

School is what you make it. You really have to know your child and what's right for him/her. Huguenot was fine for my son, however, he has a strong personality and does not succumb to peer pressure. No matter where your child goes to school, as a parent, it's your responsibility to know what is going on -- know what's available; know where to find help in case you need it; make sure homework is getting done; make sure your child knows what is expected of him/her; attend parent/teacher conferences; get to know the teachers; get to know the guidance counselors; involve your child and yourself in extracurricular activities that you can participate in together and individually; and don't expect the school to do all of the work.

I think this is a great school

This school can be way better if it just had more involvment from teaches and parents. I wish it was better. I feel like I'm missing out on so much of my education. Not very diverse.
