SCHOOL SNAPSHOTS

Indicators shown below are only a sampling of those tracked by the state Department of Education. A school's total performance cannot be judged by any individual indicator, and social and economic factors also need to be taken into account. Information is from the state's report card on Virginia schools. If your school is missing, data was not available. Change represents improvement or decline from 1990-91 to 1994-95 school years.
