Ask any Virginia Beach fifth grader what they’re reading in March, and they’ll all answer the same thing — “EllRay Jakes is Magic!” That’s because Virginia Beach City Public Schools is participating in an exciting literacy program called All District Reads, which puts a free book into the hands of every fifth grader and encourages them to read aloud and discuss the story with their families, classmates and community.

Annual School Report Cards

Dear parents and guardians:

As a school division, we value providing our families and communities with data to evaluate school performance and progress.  In prior years, Virginia Beach City Public Schools (VBCPS) gave parents, guardians, and community stakeholders access to the VBCPS Annual School Report Card, which contained information for each school, such as student and staff demographics, attendance and academic performance data.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, several measures used in our locally produced school report card were unavailable. Therefore, in lieu of the VBCPS Annual School Report Card, we are pleased to provide you with a direct link to the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) School Quality Profiles.  These profiles contain information about the historical SOL scores and passing rates, student enrollment and characteristics, staff characteristics, college and career readiness, and teacher quality for each of our schools and for VBCPS as a division. To access the VDOE School Quality Profiles, please click the link below and type the name of the school you wish to view in the appropriate field.

VBCPS is dedicated to eliminating achievement and opportunity gaps so that all students maximize their potential and every child is future ready.  This commitment is reflected in our new strategic framework, Compass to 2025.  We know we could not accomplish the vision outlined in Compass to 2025 without you and your family, along with our teachers, staff and community. We hope that you will continue to help us succeed through your commitment to your child's learning and by maintaining an active role in your child's education.

If you have any questions about the contents of a specific school quality profile or Compass to 2025, please contact the school's principal or the Office of Planning, Innovation and Accountability at 757.263.1199.

Sincerely,
Aaron C. Spence, Ed.D.
Superintendent
