List of middle schools in Central Virginia

Add links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of middle schools in Central Virginia. Any school that is included in this list must meet the following criteria:

  • In Goochland, Hanover, Chesterfield, Henrico, the City of Richmond, Amelia, or any other parts of the Richmond metro area.
  • labeled middle school, intermediate school, or junior high school in title, or educate students in those grades.

Middle schools in Central Virginia follow state and their respective counties' laws. In this area the public middle schools normally have people that are from 6th to 8th grade. The middle schools are less common in counties than elementary schools because they have bigger facilities and combine more people than an elementary school. Private middle schools are sometimes religious (like Catholic schools) and are rarely a so-called "boarding school".
