How the VaHome School Score works

Test scores (50%): the school's SOL pass rate across all subjects, ranked against every Virginia public school of the same level.
Academic progress (30%): Virginia's growth rates — the share of students who showed year-over-year growth in English reading and in math — ranked statewide.
Attendance (20%): chronic absenteeism, ranked statewide (lower is better).
What changed for 2025–26: Virginia retired the accreditation “combined rate” we used for academic progress in 2024–25, so progress now uses the state's student growth rates. Virginia publishes no growth measure for high schools, so their 20% now goes to attendance. The year-over-year comparison at the top uses the score we published for 2024–25; part of a school's change can come from this method update.
The weighted statewide percentile maps to a score from 1.0 to 10.0: score = 1 + 9 × percentile. 1–4 is below the state average, 5–6 around it, 7–10 above it.
Every input is public data from the Virginia Department of Education, refreshed each school year. No opinions, no black box — you can check our math.

About Deep Creek Middle School

Deep Creek Middle School is a public school in the Chesapeake City Public Schools division, serving students in grades 6 through 8 at 1955 Deal Drive in the Deep Creek section of Chesapeake, Virginia. The Deep Creek community traces its origins to a colonial-era settlement known as Smith's Creek in the 1660s within the former Norfolk County, and was renamed Deep Creek by the 1760s; the first public school in Deep Creek was built by Norfolk County in 1845. In 1963 the area's schools became part of the newly formed Chesapeake school system, created through the merger of Norfolk County and the City of South Norfolk.

The school sits in the southwestern part of Chesapeake, an area classified by the U.S. Department of Education as a large-city locale. For 2024-2025 it enrolled 764 students and was rated Fully Accredited by the Virginia Department of Education for 2025-2026. The student body is roughly evenly split among White, Black, and Hispanic students, with about 41% classified as economically disadvantaged.
