Children are constantly moving toward their futures, and it is the role of Chesterfield County Public Schools to nurture the potential within each child. Families continue to choose Chesterfield County in part because of the public school system, which is consistently cited by SchoolMatch as having what parents want. Recognizing Chesterfield's appeal, America's Promise Alliance has named Chesterfield County one of the country's 100 Best Communities for Young People for three years in a row.

One of the 100 largest school districts in the nation and the fourth largest in Virginia, Chesterfield County Public Schools offers many opportunities. The Chesterfield approach to learning is working: 100 percent of Chesterfield schools are accredited by the Virginia Department of Education and student pass rates on Virginia's rigorous Standards of Learning tests routinely surpass state averages. For the third straight year, the division made adequate yearly progress under No Child Left Behind.
