State report card

Virginia rates each school two ways on its School Quality Profile. Accreditation shows whether the school submitted, and the state approved, all the evidence the Standards of Accreditation require. 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, 2025-26: Fully Accredited
  • Framework score: 98.4, rated Distinguished, in the division summary
