Good to know

This ranking is based on context and resources, not test scores. Visit schools and confirm boundaries with the district. Boundaries can change; always verify assigned schools before making a decision.

How the Proxy Score Is Calculated

This ranking is not based on Virginia SOL test results. It uses only NCES and district finance data: socioeconomic context (inverse of Free/Reduced Lunch %), per-pupil spending vs Virginia average, and student–teacher ratio.

Proxy = Context×0.50 + Resources×0.35 + S:T ratio×0.15
