From a Richmond City Council press release:
The percentage of all Richmond Public Schools earning full State accreditation has reached a record high, as 42 of 48 schools met Virginia Standards of Learning benchmark scores in English, math, history and science. In addition, four Richmond Public Schools Middle Schools rose to full accreditation this year.
Richmond City Council once again thanks the dedication and diligence of the students, parents, teachers, staff, administrators, and community for their work in making these achievements a reality.
These record achievements come less than one year after U.S. News & World Report ranked two of Richmond Public Schools High Schools (Richmond Community High School and Open High School) as being among America’s best.
Also in recent years, 95 percent of Richmond’s lowest performing schools have achieved full accreditation under Virginia’s Standards of Learning (VSOL) program. In addition, RPS has improved from 18 percent to 86 percent of all schools meeting VSOL standards as measured by the Virginia Department of Education. Similarly, the number of Richmond Public Schools meeting the Annual Yearly Progress criteria of No Child Left Behind has increased from 20 percent to 80 percent.
