My son went to this school and it was great.All of his teachers were excellent and he will be graduating in June from Varina High another great Henrico school. My daughter is currently a 4th grader at Seven Pines and I still love this school. If the kids are having problems they let you know right away.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Virginia used the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests to assess students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, writing in grades 5 and 8, science in grades in 3, 5 and 8, and history in grades 3 through 8. The SOL tests are standards-based, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Virginia. The goal is for all students to pass the tests.
