Publisher Description
By JAMES T. ROBERTS, RICHARD BENTLEY, DAVID C. STUCKWISCH, DERAN R. WHITNEY and JAMES G. MERRILL RECENTLY The Virginian-Pilot reported on the accreditation status of local school systems as determined by their students' performance on Virginia's Standards of Learning tests. For the most part, those articles were positive and painted a picture of improvement for the region's schools. However, fast forward a little to an Aug. 13 news story that dealt with how many schools did not make Adequate Yearly Progress as defined by federal No Child Left Behind legislation.
