Nottoway Recognized for Raising the Achievement of Economically Disadvantaged Students

Nottoway County Public Schools has recently been being honored by the Virginia Board of Education for raising the academic achievement of economically disadvantaged students. The awards were based on student achievement on state assessments during 2007-2008 and the previous school year.

Nottoway, one of three divisions in the state to be identified, received the "Highly Distinguished Title I School Division" designation by exceeding all No Child Left Behind (NCLB) achievement objectives in reading and mathematics for two consecutive years. This closes the achievement gap by maintaining or increasing the performance of all students and by increasing the performance of each subgroup in comparison to all students and meeting other rigorous criteria.

In addition, the board also recognized Burkeville Elementary School as a “Title I Distinguished School” for maintaining full state accreditation under the commonwealth’s Standards of Learning program for two consecutive years, meeting NCLB benchmarks in reading and mathematics, and having average test scores in both subjects at the 60th percentile or higher.  To read more about these awards, click here.

Nottoway County Public Schools, Crewe Primary School, and Nottoway Middle School were honored back in January when they were named recipients of another academic award, the Board of Education's Competence to Excellence Award.  To learn more about the Competence to Excellence Award, click here.

Also in January, Governor Tim Kaine recognized Burkeville Elementary School by awarding BES with the 2009 Governor’s Award for Educational Excellence.  More information about this award can be found here.
