Application Procedures

King & Queen County is approximately 40 miles northeast of Richmond along U.S. Route 360. It is known as the “shoestring” county extending approximately 70 miles long and 10 miles wide. It is a short drive to the towns of West Point, Gloucester, Williamsburg, and Tappahannock. The main industry is agriculture and logging.

The school division consists of 740 students housed within three schools, one high school grades 7-12 (Central High School and a new wing for our “middle” school for 7th and 8th graders), and two elementary schools grades PK-6 (King & Queen Elementary School and Lawson-Marriott Elementary School).
