Virginia Index of Performance (VIP) Program
The Virginia Index of Performance program recognizes schools and school divisions for the achievement of excellence goals established by the governor and Board of Education and provides incentives for continuous improvement. Schools and school divisions earn one of the following three awards based on performance during the previous academic year:
- Governor's Award for Educational Excellence
- Board of Education's Excellence Award
- Board of Education's Distinguished Achievement Award
- Only schools and school divisions that have met all state and federal accountability requirements for two consecutive years – and have not experienced significant irregularities in the administration of state assessments – are eligible to earn VIP awards.
