Overall, I would not trade my high school for any other school. Open High is exceptional and masters openness, opportunities, learning, and creativity. I would only change to include sports and other extracurriculars within the school.

Open High is the ultimate safe haven for teachers and students alike. Open High is a diverse open minded facility that offers dedicated staff and hard working students. The only "issues" and things I would like to see change is the transportation. Open High does not have transportation for its students and that alone is the flaw of Open High.

I think that Open High School is a great school for people who are open to new ideas and meeting people. I loved the teachers there, but the students can be a little harsh. The people that you meet in ninth grade are the people you tend to stick with throughout the next 4 years. Open is a school that is supposed to prepare you for college, but so far, this college stuff is way harder and im not prepared at all. Open is a great school for making you feel welcomed but it doesn't prepare you for what happens next. The debt and crying and the feeling of being overwhelmed. Open is temporary happiness.

The small knit community and class sizes allow teachers and students...

Great school. The absolute best teachers anywhere in the greater Richmond area. It feels as if our child were attending an elite university. It has been three years of intense intellectual growth for our son, under the careful guidance of brilliant teachers and staff. There cannot be any better coll...

Great school indeed. Students are highly motivated, teachers are outstanding. Many students this year were accepted in very and most competitive schools, respectively. Yes, they do teach to ensure that students' SOL performance is up to par - they are a Virginia public high school. But they excel wh...

My youngest son is an alternate at Maggie Walker and it is very likely that he will get in. However, throughout our high school decision process for our youngest son, our top choice remains Open High School. Our older son currently attends Open and we could not be more pleased: truly exceptional tea...
