Central Virginia schools match state average in annual accreditation
The central Virginia region matched the state average of 64 percent of schools receiving accreditation.
Twenty-three of Albemarle County's 24 schools were fully accredited. Only Yancey Elementary school missed the mark and was designated "provisionally accredited -- needs improvement."
That designation is given to schools that miss one or more of the state benchmarks by less than 20 percent.
Charlottesville City schools Johnson, Venable, Burnley-Moran and Greenbrier Elementary schools received full accreditation.
All other city schools were labeled "needs improvement."
