[quote=Anonymous]For anyone wondering: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/92-percent-of-virginia-schools-win-accreditation-despite-achievement-gap/2018/09/27/9452a6d6-c1d6-11e8-b338-a3289f6cb742_story.html?utm_term=.e780c3e51bca

“Under the new system, schools are assigned a rating for each benchmark — level 1 signifies a school is meeting or exceeding expectations, level 2 indicates a school is near or making adequate progress toward reaching standards, and level 3 means a school is below standards.

Schools that receive level 1 or 2 marks in all categories are considered accredited, while schools that receive a 3 in any category are accredited with conditions. A school is denied accreditation if it fails to adopt and implement plans to improve.

No schools in the state were denied accreditation this year because it was the first time the revamped system was used. But nearly 8 percent received accreditation with conditions.”

Accredited with conditions in this area were Fort Belvoir ES (FCPS), and Jefferson-Houston and TC Williams (ACPS). Will be interesting to see what happens in the future because no schools were denied accreditation this year under the new system. [/quote]
