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.
