      • Focus School Information

        In June, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education granted Virginia waivers from certain requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). For detailed information, see Virginia's ESEA Flexibility.

        Per the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) flexibility waiver provisions, ten percent of Virginia’s Title I schools (72) are identified as focus schools based on reading and mathematics achievement of students in the three proficiency gap groups. Title I schoolswith one or more proficiency gap groups not meeting performance expectations in reading and mathematics will be considered for inclusion in the focus school category.  Title I schools with one or more proficiency gap groups failing to meet the 95 percent participation rate in reading and/or mathematics will also be considered for inclusion in the focus school category.

        • Gap Group 1:  Students with Disabilities, English Language Learners (ELL), and Economically Disadvantaged (unduplicated)
        • Gap Group 2:  Black students, not of Hispanic origin, including Students with Disabilities, ELL, and Economically Disadvantaged Students
        • Gap Group 3:  Hispanic students, of one or more races, including Students with Disabilities, ELL, and Economically Disadvantaged Students

      • Priority School Information

        In June, 2012, the U.S. Department of Education granted Virginia waivers from certain requirements of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA), as amended by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). For detailed information, see Virginia's ESEA Flexibility. In addition, Frequently Asked Questions About Priority Schools (Word) may provide additional details.

        The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 (ESEA) flexibility waiver provisions specify the identification and exit criteria for identification of schools as priority schools.

      • Virginia Department of Education School Improvement and Reform

        VDOE helps historically low-performing schools and school divisions implement effective instructional strategies and best practices to increase student achievement. The department’s nationally-recognized comprehensive support system, known as the Partnership for Achieving Successful Schools (PASS), focuses on building division-level capacity to support schools in need of interventions. In partnering with school divisions, VDOE ensures that each school’s unique needs are addressed through differentiated assistance and interventions.
