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: 85.89, performance level Approaching Expectations, in the state’s division summary.

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

Subject 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26
Reading 70% 63% 64%
Math 66% 64% 64%
Science 68% 60% 58%
History and social science 57% 46% 57%

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