Four elementary schools in Albemarle County and the City of Charlottesville were recognized as Title I Distinguished schools for maintaining full accreditation under Virginia’s Standards of Learning program for two years in a row.
Agnor-Hurt, Stony Point, Burnley-Moran, and Greenbrier elementary schools met federal standards in math and reading. Average student test scores in these subjects were in the 60th percentile and higher.
The Virginia Board of Education named 92 of Virginia’s over 700 schools as distinguished based on the results on state assessment tests during the 2009-2010 and the 2010-2011 school years.
Title I funding is provided by the federal government under the federal Elementary and Secondary Education Act to assist children in high-poverty areas. Funding is based on the number of low-income children in a school.
