Virginia public schools are among the best in the United States, according to a recent study. The study used metrics to compare all states on two main dimensions: the safety and quality of public schools. Virginia was found to be the fourth best school system in the country, ranking fourth in quality and third in safety. Virginia public schools have some of the highest math test scores in the country, with a score of 61.79 out of 100.
This score placed them fourth in overall quality and fourth in safety. Virginia was one of two states that ranked in the top five in both categories, with Massachusetts being the other. The Virginia Department of Education released a report two months ago, which revealed that school closures, lower standards and lack of transparency have contributed to a decline in student performance over the past two years. Despite this, Virginia public schools still ranked No.
4 according to WalletHub findings. Virginia schools also have the fourth lowest incidence rate of bullying and have no significant deficiencies when evaluating their safety from violence, bullying, and substance use. This is an impressive feat that shows how dedicated Virginia is to providing a safe and quality education for its students.
