State report card

Virginia rates schools two ways. Accreditation checks that a school meets the state’s Standards of Accreditation. The School Performance and Support Framework “considers multiple measures of student success, including academic achievement, growth, readiness, and graduation,” the division’s accreditation and performance page says, and gives each school a score and a performance level.

  • Accreditation: Fully Accredited. All 81 VBCPS schools earned full accreditation for 2026-27, based on 2025-26 data, the division announced Oct. 7.
  • Framework score: 90.13, performance level Meets Expectations, in the state’s division summary.
  • On-time graduation: 97%. Of 427 students in the 2025-26 cohort, 413 graduated on time; 259 earned an advanced diploma and 123 a standard diploma, and 6 dropped out.

Standards of Learning pass rates (share of tested students who passed):

Subject 2023-24 2024-25 2025-26
English reading 90% 89% 93%
Writing 86% 84% 88%
Math 88% 93% 90%

The full profile also reports attendance, student groups, teacher data and spending.

Attendance zone and feeder schools

Look up any address in the division’s School Locator; the school’s own 2026-27 zone map (PDF) shows its boundary. Zones do not follow neighborhood or ZIP code lines, so check the address, not the area.

Feeder schools: on the division’s 2026-27 zone maps, the Princess Anne High zone lies entirely inside the Independence Middle zone. Middle school and high school zones do not match exactly, so classmates from one middle school can split between high schools.

Families who want a different school can file an out-of-zone request.
