Frequently Asked Questions about the Patrick Henry Zone

Is Patrick Henry High School a good school?
Patrick Henry has strengths and tradeoffs that differ from the suburban county high schools. Strengths include a robust IB program, strong arts offerings, Governor's School access, and a more diverse student body than most county schools. The school's overall test scores trail Cave Spring and Hidden Valley, but the IB and Governor's School tracks compete favorably with any school in the region. The right fit depends on what your family is looking for.
What neighborhoods feed into Patrick Henry High?
Most of South Roanoke, Grandin Court, Raleigh Court, Wasena, Old Southwest, Crystal Spring, and Mountain View attend Patrick Henry. Roanoke City attendance zones are based on residence within the city limits, not on which neighborhood you live in. Always confirm the specific zone with Roanoke City Public Schools before assuming.
How do home prices in the PH zone compare to county zones?
Patrick Henry zone homes are generally more affordable than Cave Spring or Hidden Valley equivalents — often 15-25% less per square foot. The tradeoff is that homes here are typically older (1920s-1960s), with character but also potentially older systems and smaller lots. For buyers who value walkability, character, and proximity to downtown, the PH zone is often a much better fit than suburban county zones.
