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: 86.93, performance level Meets Expectations, in the state’s division summary.
• On-time graduation: 87%. Of 448 students in the 2025-26 cohort, 391 graduated on time; 216 earned an advanced diploma and 169 a standard diploma, and 37 dropped out.

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

In 2025-26, 459 students took an Advanced Placement test and 61 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 Maury High zone draws from these middle school zones: Blair Middle (74%), Norview Middle (15%) and Azalea Gardens Middle (11%).

At the elementary level, the largest shares of its addresses fall in the zones of W.H. Taylor Elementary (21%), Larchmont Elementary (18%), Willard Elementary (13%), Lindenwood Elementary (9%), Granby Elementary (7%), Sewells Point Elementary (7%), St. Helena Elementary (7%), Camp Allen Elementary (6%) and James Monroe Elementary (6%). Middle and high school zones do not line up exactly, so classmates from one middle school can split between high schools.

A new Maury High School is being built off 20th Street and Llewellyn Avenue: a four-story, L-shaped building of about 315,000 square feet, the division’s New Maury High School page says. Construction of the building runs from summer 2026 to summer 2028, followed by “very selective demolition of non-historic Maury High School” and a new multipurpose athletic field from summer 2028 to winter 2029. Our schools guide follows the consolidation plan.
