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 Carrsville Elementary School

Carrsville Elementary School serves the Carrsville community in the southwestern part of Isle of Wight County, Virginia, from a campus on Carrsville Highway (U.S. Route 58). The school grounds sit on land that local historians identify as lying between Union and Confederate lines during Civil War fighting in the area in 1863. Tara W. Outland, a longtime Suffolk Public Schools educator and Carrsville resident, was appointed principal effective July 1, 2023, and the school received a secure entrance vestibule as part of division-wide security upgrades that same year.

Today Carrsville Elementary is a pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade school in Isle of Wight County Public Schools, enrolling about 232 students with 15.5 full-time-equivalent teachers (a student-teacher ratio of roughly 15 to 1) in 2024-2025, and it is classified by NCES as a rural school. It is one of the two elementary schools in the Windsor feeder pattern, sending students on to Georgie D. Tyler Middle School and then Windsor High School. The school's teams and spirit wear go by the Bulldogs, and it was rated Fully Accredited by the Virginia Department of Education for 2025-2026.
