[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Youngkin is attacking the accreditation standards as too lenient and not reflective of current school academic performance (https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/23/youngkin-school-ratings/).  With ACPS’s poor academic performance on the most recent SOLs, could some ACPS schools be at risk of losing accreditation if the standards are tightened and then Youngkin could use non-accreditation to exercise more control…..[/quote]

Thats funny. But not haha funny

Seriously though yes, the schools are accredited bc a couple years pre covid they lowered the standards for accreditation. And the threat of the state taking over? That’s an oldie but goodie! Now you know why Jefferson-Houston is a K-8 school. Funny story before it was K-8 , J-H was an option school for the Arts 😂 Of course no one in the right mind opted in and they could never explain exactly what that Arts program was. Anyway, the school had failed to be accredited for 5 yrs straight, it was one step away from state control, if they didn’t come up with a turn around plan. Viola! Let’s spend millions of dollars to renovate and make it a K-8 school. Oh and no one in boundary can opt out anymore

My other favorite school is Cora Kelly which is a supposed focus school for Math and Science. They have some of the lowest SOL scores for Math and Science in the City. A smarter school board would have dropped the math and science thing from the name to spare the school ridicule. [/quote]
