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 Seatack Elementary an Achievable Dream Academy

Seatack Elementary an Achievable Dream Academy serves students in grades PK through 5 in the Seatack neighborhood of Virginia Beach, one of the oldest African American communities in the southern part of the city, with roots predating the Civil War. In the early 1900s, residents of Seatack organized formal schooling for their children, initially using space donated by Mount Olive Baptist Church. A permanent, consolidated school building was constructed in 1952 on land purchased through community fundraising, making it the first consolidated elementary school for African American students in what was then Princess Anne County.

The school was among the last in the Virginia Beach City Public Schools system to be fully integrated, during the 1971-1972 school year. A new building opened for the 1999-2000 school year, and in 2000 Seatack became the first VBCPS elementary school to adopt year-round scheduling. In July 2014 it joined the An Achievable Dream Academy program. The campus is located at 912 S Birdneck Road, near the Birdneck Road corridor in the eastern part of Virginia Beach.
