My Granddaughters enrolled in Ginter Park Sept. 2011 in 1st and 2nd grade. They are now in 2nd and 3rd grade. The staff at Ginter Park really do care about the children and strive to guide them in the right direction. The Principal shows outstanding leadership and I have never seen a more caring Principal than Ms. Williams. She does everything she can to keep our children learning and give them the tools they need to succeed. My children love their teachers and I think they are all wonderful. I only wish we had more involvement from our parents and guardians. It does take a village to raise our children. Please support our children for all of our futures. Thank You Ginter Park staff. You are appreciated. Mrs. Taylor

I attended OHS from 1998-2002. As an alum of Open High School, I can proudly say that I grew into a lifelong learner and thinker because of the independence and quality of education provided by the teachers and staff of Open High. The small knit community and class sizes allow teachers and students to get consistent feedback as well as growth in different subject areas and personal matters. Teachers act more as mentors as they guide students through the knowledge. Self study and curiosity are encouraged and welcomed. I do not recall an emphasis on SOLs but I recall passing them all every year. Students who graduate from Open High School tend to be great additions to society. Most attend and graduate from a university with advanced degrees. The class of 2002 alumni mostly have Masters degrees and Doctoral degrees in their perspective fields. Most of us are still friends 18+ years later.Open High School is a TOP school within Richmond Public Schools.

Way too many fights at this school. Communication from Administrative to parent is not good at all. Children are continually being picked on by other students and nothing is being don't. School does not follow the IEP for children at all.

As parents, this is the best decision that we could have made. We came from a private school in the first 9 years to move into the public school system where in Richmond is not highly regarded. But this school is the crown jewel of RPS. The quality of the teachers, counselors, students and administrators has been nothing less than spectacular. The challenge given by the teachers and administrators to the students could be overwhelming at first, but the way that the challenge is nurtured leads to a complete graduate that is ready for college. Students that come back to RCHS after a year or two of college credit the years spent here as the building blocks of seamless transmission to higher education. It is really a hidden gem in RPS.

Horrible school ... Dumb people in charge doung it just for $.no love

Amazing School. Teachers are amazing and so nice. The students there are so kind and smart also.
