Chesterfield County’s school system remains a significant part of community life. Chesterfield County Public Schools District enrolled a total of 64,183 students during the current school year. Among its schools, Thomas Dale High School had the highest enrollment with over two thousand five hundred students. The district’s demographics show that white students made up forty-three percent while Black students accounted for twenty-six point two percent.
Enrollment figures have slightly increased compared to last year; the district saw an increase from sixty-three thousand one hundred five students last year to sixty-three thousand six hundred thirteen this year. Early education also plays a key role in Chesterfield; Chester Early Childhood Learning Academy enrolled three hundred seventy-eight pre-kindergarten students, representing just over forty percent of all pre-kindergarteners in county schools, while Old Hundred Elementary School led kindergarten enrollment with one hundred forty-nine students.
The next steps for residents interested in participating include reviewing agenda items posted online and submitting comments or signing up if they wish to address unscheduled matters during either session.
