Non-Henrico Student Assessment

Non-Henrico student applications are open to eighth grade students whose primary residence is in Henrico County, but do not currently attend Henrico County Public Schools.

During the regular application cycle, non-HCPS students will sign up for their assessments in the application portal, Henrico Schoolmint

To apply for admission to an HCPS specialty center, you must register to take the specialty center assessment test. The test includes three sections: reading, mathematics and writing. Students will have 45 minutes for each section of the assessment. Enrollment in testing sessions will be limited to 20 students. 

Parents must register their student in advance for the specialty center assessment. Registration is included in the application process.

If you have questions, please contact April Craver at awcraver@henrico.k12.va.us.
