Gloucester County Public Schools

Gloucester County Public Schools is a Virginia public school division which serves Gloucester County, Virginia.

The school division operates nine schools, of which, six elementary (grades K-5), two intermediate (grades 6-8), and one high school (grades 9-12). There have been numerous proposals to make the school system switch to year round school like a few neighboring counties, but the board has rejected each proposal. In mathematics and language, advanced courses are offered. In mathematics, attendees can take courses two years before they're required, and in language, students can take "advanced language" which is at a higher level than their peers.
