Only Prince Edward and Buckingham high schools earned full state accreditation in The Herald’s coverage area based on student performance during last school year’s Standard of Learning (SOL) tests.

Other schools — including all in Cumberland — gained only partial accreditation, according to data released by the state Department of Education on Tuesday afternoon.

Buckingham

Buckingham’s primary, elementary and middle schools fell short in English. All of the division’s schools met the state benchmarks in math, history and science.

Buckingham Primary and Elementary were both named priority schools, meaning they’re in the lowest-performing five percent of Title I schools in the state. Such schools must engage a state-approved turnaround partner to help design and implement school-reform models that meet state and federal requirements. The division failed to meet all federal Annual Measurable Objectives.

Cumberland

Cumberland Elementary fell short in English and math while the middle school didn’t make the benchmarks in science, math or English. Cumberland’s High School only fell short in math.

Cumberland Elementary has been named a focus school, meaning it’s in the 10 percent of Title I schools selected on the basis of achievement gaps. Such schools must state-approved school-improvement coaches.

The division failed to meet all federal Annual Measurable Objectives.

Prince Edward

Prince Edward’s high school met all benchmarks in English, math, history and science, according to the data. Both the elementary and middle schools fell short in English while meeting other state benchmarks.

The division failed to meet all federal Annual Measurable Objectives.

For elementary and middle schools to be fully accredited by the state, students must achieve at least a 75 percent English pass rate, a 70 percent math pass rate, a 70 percent science pass rate and a 70 percent history pass rate. High schools must achieve a pass rate of 75 percent English and 70 percent in mathematics, science and history and attain a point value of 85 or greater based on the Graduation and Completion Index (GCI).
