If you are shopping for the best neighborhoods near Clover Hill High School in Chesterfield VA, this is the guide where the actual subdivision list comes from the county rather than from listing copy. Clover Hill High School sits at 13301 Kelly Green Lane, Midlothian, VA 23112, phone 804-639-4940, serving grades nine through twelve under Chesterfield County Public Schools, Virginia school division number 21. The school opened in 1972 and moved into its current building in 2010; the former building now houses the Career and Technical Center at Hull Street Road.
The most valuable thing in this article is the correction list. Of the sixteen subdivisions most commonly attached to Clover Hill High in online neighborhood roundups, eleven are actually zoned to a different high school. Woodlake, one of the two big Swift Creek Reservoir communities and the name most often paired with Clover Hill, is Cosby High School. Charter Colony is Midlothian High School. Rountrey is Midlothian High School. Birkdale, Summerford, Deer Run, Bayhill Pointe and Collington are Manchester High School. Hampton Park, Ashbrook and Foxcreek are Cosby High School. St. James Woods is Monacan High School. If you buy on the strength of a blog post, there is a very real chance you buy into the wrong zone.
The Mission Realty Team builds these lists from the county’s own school locator data rather than from marketing copy, and we still tell every client the same thing: Chesterfield County Public Schools assigns by address, not by subdivision, several communities straddle a boundary, and the county reviews its zones. Verify the specific address through the CCPS School Locator before you write an offer. What follows is the best available starting point, not a substitute for that check.
Where is Clover Hill High School and which division serves it?
Clover Hill High School is at 13301 Kelly Green Lane, Midlothian, VA 23112, in western Chesterfield County. It is one of the Chesterfield County Public Schools high schools, division number 21 in Virginia Department of Education records and district 5100840 in the National Center for Education Statistics database. Enrollment was 1,742 in the 2024 to 2025 school year per NCES. The Cavaliers play in green and gold. The current principal is David Altizer and the division superintendent is Dr. John Murray. The school’s website lives on the division’s oneccps.org domain rather than the older mychesterfieldschools.com address, which is worth knowing if you are following an old link.
The zone spans four zip codes and cities: 23112 Midlothian, 23832 Chesterfield, 23235 North Chesterfield and 23236 North Chesterfield. Note what is missing from that list: 23114. Addresses in 23114 sit in the Midlothian High and Monacan High zones, including Charter Colony, Ashbrook Landing and St. James Woods. If a listing pairs a 23114 address with a Clover Hill claim, that is a red flag.
Geographically, the organizing features are Swift Creek Reservoir, Genito Road, Old Hundred Road and Route 360, which VDOT names Hull Street Road. Route 288, which VDOT names the World War II Veterans Memorial Highway, provides the main limited-access connection north toward Interstate 64 and the Powhite Parkway. Swift Creek Middle School, the dominant feeder, sits on South Old Hundred Road. Clover Hill Library is at 6701 Deer Run Drive, Midlothian, VA 23112, with a makerspace, a multimedia studio, meeting spaces and a reading garden. LaPrade Library is at 9000 Hull Street Road, though note it is a North Chesterfield 23236 address rather than a Midlothian one.
Which neighborhoods are actually in the Clover Hill High School zone?
Based on the Chesterfield County Public Schools school locator data for the 2026 to 2027 year, the following named communities appear inside the Clover Hill High School zone, nearly all of them paired with Swift Creek Middle School. Brandermill, for most of its extent, including Hunters Chase at Brandermill, Sandy Brook at Brandermill, Shady Pointe at Brandermill, Village Green at Brandermill and the Brandermill Woods retirement community. Fox Chase, which pairs with Swift Creek Middle and Swift Creek Elementary.
Then a long list of smaller communities: Cloverleigh, Fernbrook, Five Forks Village, Village at Swift Creek, and the Harbour Pointe cluster, which includes Harbour Bluff, Harbour Green, Harbour Hill, Harbour Ridge, Harbourwood and the Townhomes at Harbour Pointe. The Genito group is in the zone as well: Genito Estates, Genito Forest, Genito Woods and Lake Genito, along with Old Hundred Mill. On the golf-and-lake side, Muirfield Green, Gleneagles, St Regents Lake, Southshore, Spinnaker Cove, Regatta Pointe, Promontory Pointe and Commodore Point. Around the creek itself, Lake Forest at Swift Creek, Springridge at Swift Creek and Terraces at Swift Creek. And rounding it out, Watkins Glen, South Ridge, Autumn Woods, Steeple Chase, Timber Ridge, Whispering Oaks, Seven Oaks, Nuttree and Nuttree Woods, Pebble Creek, Walnut Creek and Walnut Grove.
One important nuance on Brandermill, because it is the single largest and most-searched community here. Brandermill is split. Most of it is Clover Hill High School with Swift Creek Middle School, feeding from either Clover Hill Elementary or Swift Creek Elementary. A portion of Brandermill is Midlothian High School with Tomahawk Creek Middle School. So “Brandermill” alone does not answer the question. The street does. That is the clearest possible illustration of why the Mission Realty Team runs every address through the locator rather than relying on the subdivision name.
The neighborhoods people call Clover Hill that are not Clover Hill
This is the section that saves buyers money and heartache. Every community below shows up in Clover Hill neighborhood roundups, and every one of them is currently zoned to a different high school in the county’s own data.
Woodlake is Cosby High School with Tomahawk Creek Middle School, feeding from Woolridge or Clover Hill Elementary, in 23112. It is the second big Swift Creek Reservoir community, it sits on the reservoir’s west side, and it is the most frequently misattributed neighborhood in this entire market. Hampton Park is Cosby High School with Deep Creek Middle and Winterpock Elementary in 23832. Ashbrook is Cosby High School with Swift Creek Middle and Clover Hill Elementary in 23832, and note that “Ashbrook Landing” is a separate name that goes to Midlothian High School with Tomahawk Creek Middle and Evergreen Elementary in 23114. Foxcreek is Cosby High School with Deep Creek Middle and Deep Creek or Woolridge Elementary, in 23120 Moseley.
On the Midlothian High School side: Charter Colony, with Midlothian or Tomahawk Creek Middle and Watkins or Evergreen Elementary in 23114. Winterfield, including Winterfield Park, Winterfield Ridge, Winterfield Station and the Promenade at Winterfield, with Midlothian Middle and Watkins or Bettie Weaver Elementary in 23113. Rountrey, with Tomahawk Creek Middle and Old Hundred Elementary in 23112, which is a particularly easy mistake to make because Rountrey shares the 23112 zip code with much of the Clover Hill zone. On the Manchester High School side: Birkdale, Summerford including the Reserve at, the Timbers at and the Woods at Summerford, Deer Run, Bayhill Pointe and Collington, all generally with Bailey Bridge Middle and Spring Run or Alberta Smith Elementary in 23832. And St. James Woods goes to Monacan High School with Midlothian Middle and Gordon Elementary in 23114.
The feeder pattern: Swift Creek Middle dominates, three others cover slivers
Four middle schools appear in the Clover Hill High School zone in the county’s locator data: Bailey Bridge, Manchester, Providence and Swift Creek. But they are not equals. Swift Creek Middle School is by far the dominant feeder, accounting for nearly all the subdivisions in the zone. The Bailey Bridge, Manchester and Providence combinations appear to cover small boundary slivers rather than whole neighborhoods. The honest way to state it is: primarily Swift Creek Middle, with portions of Bailey Bridge, Manchester and Providence middle schools.
On the elementary side, eight schools appear as Clover Hill High feeders in that data: Alberta Smith, Clover Hill, Evergreen, Hening, Jacobs Road, Providence, Swift Creek and Thelma Crenshaw. That is a wider list than most guides publish, and it reflects the fact that Chesterfield’s boundaries do not line up neatly from level to level any more than Henrico’s do.
One more piece of context that explains a lot of the confusion in this market. Cosby High School opened in 2006, built specifically to relieve overcrowding at Clover Hill after the Board of Supervisors approved construction in December 2003 on a site along Cosby Road. Clover Hill’s enrollment fell from 2,080 to 1,593 as a result, though the school was still reported at 101 percent of capacity afterward. Cosby today serves communities including Woodlake and Hampton Park. Boundaries have been redrawn multiple times since, and Tomahawk Creek Middle is a newer school that absorbed part of what used to be Swift Creek Middle’s territory. So a lot of the outdated neighborhood lists circulating online are describing a pre-2006 or pre-Tomahawk-Creek world.
The Mathematics and Science High School at Clover Hill
Clover Hill High School houses the Mathematics and Science High School at Clover Hill, also cited as the Chesterfield County Mathematics and Science High School, which opened in 1994. That is the specialty program that draws families to this attendance zone from outside it, and it is the single most important academic fact about the school for a relocating buyer.
One correction: some sources attach a “Center for Design and Technology” to Clover Hill. We found no evidence of such a center at this school and we are not going to repeat it. Clover Hill’s world languages offerings have been described as including French, German, Spanish and Latin, though that detail comes from a secondary source rather than a division page, so verify it with the school if a specific language matters to your student.
The practical point for a home search is the same one that applies in Henrico County: a specialty or magnet program that admits from beyond the base attendance zone changes your search geography and therefore your budget. If the Mathematics and Science High School is the draw, confirm the current admission process and geography with Chesterfield County Public Schools directly, because that determines whether you need to buy inside the Clover Hill zone at all. The Mission Realty Team walks through this calculation with families before they narrow a search, not after, because it frequently opens up neighborhoods they had written off.
Swift Creek Reservoir, Sunday Park and daily life in this zone
Swift Creek Reservoir is the defining physical feature of this part of Chesterfield County, and both Brandermill and Woodlake front on it. For a buyer, the reservoir is the reason a large share of the housing here commands what it does, and it is also the source of the most common misunderstanding about the area’s amenities.
Sunday Park at Brandermill sits on the reservoir and is home to The Boathouse restaurant. Here is the part almost every neighborhood guide gets wrong: Sunday Park is a Brandermill community amenity, not a public county park, and its boat ramp is described as a private launch for Brandermill residents and their guests. So if reservoir access is part of why you are buying, the question is not “is there a park on the lake,” it is “does this specific property carry Brandermill membership and what does that membership actually include.” Get that in writing. Woodlake also sits on the reservoir, on the west side in 23112, but we could not verify the specifics of Woodlake’s amenity or marina access from an official source, so ask rather than assume, and remember Woodlake is Cosby High School rather than Clover Hill.
Beyond the reservoir, the county park inventory nearby includes Rockwood Park, Chesterfield’s oldest park at roughly 171 acres, with ball fields and game courts, a nature center, an archery range, the Ruff House Dog Park, an orienteering course, garden plots and an extensive system of hard and soft surface nature trails. Mid-Lothian Mines Park, a Chesterfield County park at 13286 North Woolridge Road that opened to visitors in 2004 and preserves coal mining ruins from the Richmond Coal Basin, is genuinely worth visiting but note its 23114 address puts it in the Midlothian High area rather than in the Clover Hill zone, so present it as nearby rather than as an in-zone amenity. Harbour Pointe is a real place name in the Clover Hill and Swift Creek Middle zone, appearing in county records as Harbour Pointe Parkway, the Townhomes at Harbour Pointe and Harbour Pointe Office Condos, though we could not verify it as a shopping center or confirm any tenants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clover Hill High School Neighborhoods in Chesterfield VA
Where is Clover Hill High School in Chesterfield County?
Clover Hill High School is at 13301 Kelly Green Lane, Midlothian, VA 23112, phone 804-639-4940, serving grades nine through twelve under Chesterfield County Public Schools. The school opened in 1972 and moved into its current building in 2010. The former building now houses the Career and Technical Center at Hull Street Road. Enrollment was 1,742 in the 2024 to 2025 school year.
Is Brandermill zoned for Clover Hill High School?
Mostly yes, but it is split. Most of Brandermill is Clover Hill High School with Swift Creek Middle School, feeding from either Clover Hill Elementary or Swift Creek Elementary. A portion of Brandermill is Midlothian High School with Tomahawk Creek Middle School. Because Brandermill is large enough to straddle the boundary, the subdivision name alone does not answer the question. Verify the specific street address through the Chesterfield County Public Schools School Locator.
Is Woodlake zoned for Clover Hill High School?
No. Woodlake is zoned to Cosby High School with Tomahawk Creek Middle School, feeding from Woolridge or Clover Hill Elementary, in zip code 23112. Woodlake is the most frequently misattributed neighborhood in this market, largely because it and Brandermill both front on Swift Creek Reservoir and get discussed together. If Clover Hill High is your goal, Woodlake is not the neighborhood.
Is Charter Colony in the Clover Hill High School zone?
No. Charter Colony is zoned to Midlothian High School, with Midlothian or Tomahawk Creek Middle School and Watkins or Evergreen Elementary, in zip code 23114. Note that 23114 does not appear anywhere in the Clover Hill High attendance zone, so a 23114 address paired with a Clover Hill claim is a reliable warning sign that the listing information is wrong.
Which neighborhoods really are in the Clover Hill High School zone?
Per the Chesterfield County school locator data, the list includes most of Brandermill, Fox Chase, Cloverleigh, Fernbrook, Five Forks Village, Village at Swift Creek, the Harbour Pointe communities, Genito Estates, Genito Forest, Genito Woods, Lake Genito, Old Hundred Mill, Muirfield Green, Gleneagles, St Regents Lake, Southshore, Spinnaker Cove, Regatta Pointe, Promontory Pointe, Commodore Point, Lake Forest at Swift Creek, Springridge at Swift Creek, Terraces at Swift Creek, Watkins Glen, South Ridge, Autumn Woods, Steeple Chase, Timber Ridge, Whispering Oaks, Seven Oaks, Nuttree and Nuttree Woods, Pebble Creek, Walnut Creek and Walnut Grove.
What middle schools feed Clover Hill High School?
Four appear in the county’s locator data: Bailey Bridge, Manchester, Providence and Swift Creek. They are not equals. Swift Creek Middle School is by far the dominant feeder, accounting for nearly all of the subdivisions in the zone, while the Bailey Bridge, Manchester and Providence combinations appear to cover small boundary slivers. State it as primarily Swift Creek Middle, with portions of the other three.
What elementary schools feed Clover Hill High School?
Eight appear as Clover Hill High feeders in the county’s locator data: Alberta Smith, Clover Hill, Evergreen, Hening, Jacobs Road, Providence, Swift Creek and Thelma Crenshaw. That is a wider list than most neighborhood guides publish, and it reflects the fact that Chesterfield’s elementary, middle and high school boundaries do not line up neatly from one level to the next.
Which zip codes are in the Clover Hill High School zone?
Four: 23112 Midlothian, 23832 Chesterfield, 23235 North Chesterfield and 23236 North Chesterfield. Zip code 23114 does not appear in the Clover Hill zone at all; 23114 addresses fall in the Midlothian High and Monacan High zones. Keep in mind that zip codes are postal boundaries and are never a substitute for an address-level school assignment check.
Does Clover Hill High School have a specialty program?
Yes. Clover Hill High School houses the Mathematics and Science High School at Clover Hill, also cited as the Chesterfield County Mathematics and Science High School, which opened in 1994. Some sources also attach a “Center for Design and Technology” to Clover Hill; we found no evidence of that program at this school and would not rely on it. Confirm current program offerings and admission geography with Chesterfield County Public Schools.
Why did Cosby High School open and what did it change?
Cosby High School opened in 2006, built specifically to relieve overcrowding at Clover Hill after the Board of Supervisors approved construction in December 2003 on a site along Cosby Road. Clover Hill’s enrollment fell from 2,080 to 1,593 as a result, though the school was still reported at 101 percent of capacity afterward. Cosby today serves communities including Woodlake and Hampton Park. Boundaries have been redrawn several times since.
Is Sunday Park at Brandermill a public park?
No, and this matters if lake access is part of your buying decision. Sunday Park sits on Swift Creek Reservoir and is home to The Boathouse restaurant, but it is a Brandermill community amenity rather than a public county park, and its boat ramp is described as a private launch for Brandermill residents and their guests. Confirm in writing whether a specific property carries Brandermill membership and exactly what that membership includes.
What parks are near Clover Hill High School?
Rockwood Park is Chesterfield’s oldest park at roughly 171 acres, with ball fields and game courts, a nature center, an archery range, the Ruff House Dog Park, an orienteering course, garden plots and an extensive system of hard and soft surface nature trails. Mid-Lothian Mines Park, at 13286 North Woolridge Road, opened to visitors in 2004 and preserves coal mining ruins from the Richmond Coal Basin, though its 23114 address puts it in the Midlothian High area rather than in the Clover Hill zone.
Is the Powhite Parkway Extension open?
No. It is planned rather than existing. Chesterfield’s thoroughfare plan has shown a future extension of the Powhite Parkway southwest from its current terminus near Route 288 all the way to Hull Street Road since the late 1980s, and construction funding for Phase I has been included, but do not evaluate a commute as though the road were open. Route 288, which VDOT names the World War II Veterans Memorial Highway, is the existing limited-access route.
What library serves the Clover Hill area?
Clover Hill Library at 6701 Deer Run Drive, Midlothian, VA 23112, which has a makerspace, a multimedia studio, meeting spaces and a reading garden. LaPrade Library at 9000 Hull Street Road is also nearby, though note it carries a North Chesterfield 23236 address rather than a Midlothian one, which occasionally trips people up when they are estimating distances.
Who can help me buy a home in the Clover Hill High School zone?
The Mission Realty Team works across Richmond, Henrico County, Chesterfield County, Hanover County, Goochland County and Powhatan County, and we build Chesterfield school-zone searches from the county’s own locator data rather than from listing copy, because eleven of the sixteen subdivisions most commonly listed as Clover Hill are actually zoned elsewhere. Call 804-601-4960 or reach us through missionrealty.com and we will verify before you tour.
Do Not Buy a Clover Hill Zone That Is Actually Cosby, Midlothian or Manchester.
Woodlake is Cosby. Charter Colony and Rountrey are Midlothian. Birkdale, Deer Run and Collington are Manchester. Brandermill itself is split. Those are the facts that decide where your student goes to high school, and they are checkable at the address level in minutes. Call the Mission Realty Team at 804-601-4960 or reach out through missionrealty.com and we will verify the zone on every Chesterfield property before you tour it.
