Gloucester is a county in eastern Virginia on a peninsula nestled between the York River and Mobjack Bay. Some areas are lush and wooded while other communities can indulge in the waterfront. The architecture is diverse from upscale farm houses to modern apartments available for rent. Living in this county gives access to excellent elementary schools, attracting those with young children as well. This historic county is best known for being home to Werowocomoco, the tribal headquarters of Powhatan and the location of where Pocahontas saved John Smith’s life. The county honors her legacy through the Pocahontas Museum, murals, a statue, and the annual Pocahontas Festival. Gloucester is the perfect place to rent an apartment or house if you’re looking for a quaint oasis where you can go antique shopping, buy fresh produce from a farmers market, and still have all the convenience of modern life.
Since Chesapeake Bay, York River, and the Atlantic Ocean are all within 70 miles, outdoor recreation, especially watersports, are very popular hobbies for residents. Gloucester Blueways is great for boating while Gloucester Point Beach Park is a dream for hikers, bikers, and sunbathing enthusiasts. If you’re looking for even more to do, Newport News, Hampton, and Richmond are only an hour away.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
