Under the SPSF Accountability System:

This promising start reflects the strength of Virginia’s commitment to educational excellence and continuous improvement.
Overview
Virginia's students, families, and educators deserve high expectations for every child and clarity on how each school is preparing students for success. No single test or report card shows the full story of a child’s learning or a school’s progress. That’s why Virginia looks at multiple measures—not just test scores—to understand how schools are helping students grow, stay on track, and get ready for the future. Virginia’s new accountability system, the School Performance and Support Framework, provides transparent, easy-to-understand reporting on a school’s performance.
Equally important, the School Performance and Support Framework identifies and directs the most support to schools that are most in need. Whether it's through attendance, staffing, mentorship, learning resources or other training, Virginia's schools will get the support they need to ensure every learner is successful. The Framework encourages school communities to work together to improve student and school performance - for every student in every school throughout the Commonwealth.
