Accreditation reviews
This look at Virginia's plan to factor graduation rates into school accreditation comes just as some school systems are talking about their own accreditations from the previous year.
In a meeting today, Montgomery County Superintendent Tiffany Anderson gushed about the county's preliminary results, which show that all schools in the county will meet accreditation standards.
The state has yet to formally announce the results, but Anderson said test scores aren't going to change enough to change anything.
She attributes the successes to a host of things, but cited a focus on math instruction and increased development for teachers as reasons scores could have risen.
