State report card

Virginia rates schools two ways. Accreditation shows whether a school meets the state’s Standards of Accreditation; a fully accredited school “submitted all required evidence to the Department of Education as prescribed in the Standards of Accreditation,” the profile says. The School Performance and Support Framework gives each school a score and one of four performance levels: Distinguished, Meets Expectations, Approaching Expectations or Needs Intensive Support.

  • Accreditation: Fully Accredited for 2025-26.
  • Framework score: 83.3, performance level Approaching Expectations, in the state’s division summary.
  • On-time graduation: 88%. Of 517 students in the 2025-26 cohort, 455 graduated on time; 214 earned an advanced diploma and 235 a standard diploma, and 47 dropped out.

Standards of Learning pass rates (share of tested students who passed):

Subject 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26
Reading 73% 78% 70%
Writing 56% 59% 54%
Math 74% 65% 66%
Science 74% 68% 72%
History and social science 37% 38% 43%

In 2025-26, 548 students took an Advanced Placement test and 98 took dual enrollment classes, the profile shows.

The full profile also reports attendance, student groups, teacher data and spending.

Attendance zone and feeder schools

Look up any address in the division’s Find My School map, or see the 2026-27 boundaries in its Redistricting Locator. Zones do not follow neighborhood or ZIP code lines, so check the address, not the area.

Feeder schools: we laid the division’s 2026-27 middle and high school boundary layers over the city’s 78,561 address points. By address, the Granby High zone draws from these middle school zones: Northside Middle (56%), Blair Middle (33%) and Norview Middle (6%).

At the elementary level, the largest shares of its addresses fall in the zones of Ocean View Elementary (28%), Granby Elementary (19%), Mary Calcott Elementary (13%), Suburban Park Elementary (11%), Jacox Elementary (8%) and Lindenwood Elementary (8%). Middle and high school zones do not line up exactly, so classmates from one middle school can split between high schools.
