Virginia’s students seem to be getting better at standardized tests.
81-percent of the state’s schools are now fully accredited, an improvement on last year by 3-percent.
Virginia’s Department of Education released the latest info Wednesday, based on last year’s Standards of Learning tests.
29 schools have had their accreditation denied — including seven in Newport News, six in Norfolk, and another seven in Richmond. Another 157 schools are partially accredited.

These numbers come one week after the Washington Post reports a school in Northern Virginia allegedly tried to inflate their pass rate by encouraging certain students to opt out of the SOL’s.
