Implementation Timeline
January 2018
VDOE ran accreditation
- utcomes for the 2017-
2018 school year (based on 2017 testing data).
*Informational Only
Fall 2018
New Graduation Requirements EFFECTIVE for the freshman class of 2018-2019 (Graduating Class of 2022).
Transition year for New Accreditation Matrix. For this year only, a school may achieve full accreditation by meeting the criteria and rules of either the 2017-2018 year or those effective 2018-2019, whichever benefits it the most. ALL STAFFORD COUNTY SCHOOLS WERE ACCREDITED BASED ON NEW STANDARDS
Fall 2019
ALL schools will be accredited
- n the revised
accountability system.

Performance Levels
Assigned to each Indicator
- 6 Indicators for Elementary and Middle Schools
- 8 Indicators for High Schools
Performance at or above benchmark, or Adequate improvement Below the benchmark, but close, or Improvement from Level 3 Indicators remaining yellow for 4 years become Level 3 (Red) Below performance benchmarks Level 1: At or Above Standard Level 3: Below Standard Level 2: Near Standard or Improving

Achievement Indicators
Indicator Performance Levels Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Combined Rate for Reading and Writing 75% or higher (state benchmark) Between 66% and 74% 65% or Lower Achievement Gaps: Reading and Writing Combined Rate for Math 70% or higher (state benchmark) Between 66% and 69% Achievement Gaps: Math Pass Rate for Science

Combined Rate/Growth Factors
- Integrates achievement, growth, and progress
measures
- Student is counted in the numerator if:
- Student passes
- Student does not pass, but demonstrates sufficient
growth using progress tables
- For English Only
- Student does not pass
- Student does not demonstrate sufficient growth, but
- Student is an English Learner (EL), and demonstrates
progress on the WIDA Assessment
English combined rate 8 / 10 = 80% Pass rate on state assessments: Student growth: English Learner progress:

- Student failed the SOL last year
- Student is promoted to next grade level
- Student receives remediation
- Student passes this year
- Student counts Twice as a Pass

†Schools can improve the performance level on the indicator by increasing the index value by 10% or more ‡Schools can improve the performance level on the indicator by decreasing the rate by 10% or more 13
School Accreditation Designations
Accredited When every school quality indicator is in either the Level One (Green) or Level Two (Yellow) ranges. Accredited with Conditions When a school has any school quality indicator in the Level III (Red) range. Accreditation Denied The Virginia Board of Education shall deny accreditation for any school that continues to demonstrate Level Three (Red) performance in any school quality indicator due to a failure to adopt and implement the school division
