All of Virginia Beach City Public Schools' (VBCPS) 82 testing sites are projected to earn state accreditation again for 2023-2024, following today's release of Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) Standards of Learning (SOL) test scores and school quality indicators data.
Eligibility & Sites
Eligibility
Acceptance into the program is not on a first-come, first-served basis, and a limited number of Pre-Kindergarten spots are available. To be eligible, you must meet the following criteria:
- Children must be 4 years old on or before Sept. 30 of the school year for which you are applying.
- The child's primary residence must be in Virginia Beach, VA.
In addition, eligible students are selected based on the following VPI eligibility criteria and identified risk factors:
- Having low family income (based on Federal Poverty Guidelines);
- Having a parent who did not complete high school;
- Lacking fixed, regular or adequate housing (homelessness); and/or
- Having an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for the child while falling in a qualifying family income bracket—the IEP team will determine if this general education classroom is the most appropriate setting.
Other factors are also considered but have lower risk values.
