Scores for other school districts in Virginia will not be released until next week.
Superintendent Frank Tota said that while students were expected to score 4 percentile points under the 50 percentile national average, they scored in the 49th percentile. The 50th percentile is by definition the national average.
He credited the school system with doing more with less. Nationally, 20 percent of all students are considered economically disadvantaged, while the percentage for Roanoke is 45, he said.
