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 Alfred S. Forrest Elementary School

Alfred S. Forrest Elementary School opened for the 1956-1957 school year as Bethel Elementary. When Bethel High School opened in 1969, the elementary school was renamed for Alfred Sylvester Forrest, a College of William & Mary alumnus and longtime Hampton educator who served as principal of Wythe Elementary beginning in 1923 and later as the first principal of George Wythe Junior High School when it opened in 1950. Forrest, a World War I Navy veteran and former Hampton Rotary Club president, retired in the early 1960s and died on February 12, 1970.

The school sits on Todds Lane on the west side of Hampton, Virginia. According to school history, the surrounding land was known in colonial times as Gust Woods after a three-day storm in 1667 felled many trees, later Sawyer's Swamp as timber was harvested, and eventually Todds Lane after the Todd family. Today Forrest Elementary is part of Hampton City Public Schools and serves students in kindergarten through grade 5.
