RICHMOND, Va. \u2014 The nation\u2019s leading education journal today ranked Virginia\u2019s public schools as third in the nation in student achievement based on the performance of students on national assessments in reading and mathematics, graduation rates and achievement on Advanced Placement examinations.<\/p>\n

Education Week\u2019s Quality Counts 2019 report awarded the commonwealth a letter grade of B- for K-12 achievement. Only Massachusetts, with a B+, and New Jersey, with a B, earned higher grades.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exciting news as our students begin a new school year,\u201d Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane said. \u201cI look forward to visiting as many schools as I can during the coming weeks and months and personally congratulating teachers, principals, administrators and support professionals for all they do as we strive to make the commonwealth\u2019s schools the best in the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

K-12 achievement comprises one-third of Education Week\u2019s three-part Quality Counts rating system. Earlier this year, the publication awarded Virginia a B on its \u201cChance for Success Index\u201d and a C for school finance.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s grade for K-12 achievement resulted in Virginia earning an overall grade of B- from Education Week for 2019.<\/p>\n

The Quality Counts 2019<\/a> report is available online. Reports from previous years also are available.<\/p>\n
