Three elementary schools, one in each Carroll, Grayson and Wythe counties were among the 64 schools recently recognized by the Virginia Board of Education for high achievement and continued improvement as part of its Exemplar Performance School Recognition Pogram.
The Exemplar School Recognition Program and its Exemplar Performance Awards recognizes schools that exceed board-established performance requirements or show continuous improvement on academic and school quality indicators. Thirty-seven schools earned the Board of Education Highest Achievement Award, and 27 schools earned the Board of Education Continuous Improvement Award. The awards are based on performance and practices during the 2022-2023 and prior school years.
“On behalf of the Virginia Board of Education, I am thrilled to celebrate and honor the 64 schools who are being recognized for their accomplishments,” said Board of Education President Grace Turner Creasey. “Recognition in this program is one of the highest achievements a school can receive in the Commonwealth. Congratulations to the staff, students, and communities who support these remarkable schools for their success.”
“I am pleased to recognize and congratulate the 37 schools that earned the Highest Achievement Award and the 27 schools that have earned the Continuous Improvement Award,” said Superintendent of Public Instruction Lisa Coons. “When high expectations are set and our schools achieve them, they deserve to be celebrated. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and tireless efforts the educators and staff, students, families, and communities are making every single day. They should be very proud of all that they have achieved.”
In Carroll County, Gladesboro Elementary was recognized. Fairview Elementary School was recognized in Grayson County, and in Wythe Rural Retreat Elementary School.
