State report card

Virginia rates each school two ways on its School Quality Profile. Accreditation shows whether the state has approved the evidence the Standards of Accreditation require. The School Performance and Support Framework gives each school a score and one of four performance levels: Distinguished, Meets Expectations, Approaching Expectations or Needs Intensive Support, as listed in the LCPS division summary.

• Accreditation, 2025-26: Fully Accredited
• Framework score: 90.21, rated Distinguished, in the division summary
• On-time graduation: 93%. Of 346 students in the 2025-26 cohort, 320 graduated on time: 214 with an advanced studies diploma, 100 with a standard diploma and six with other diplomas. The completion rate was 93%, and 22 students dropped out.

How we checked: we matched Loudoun County’s 140,704 address points against LCPS’s 2026-27 elementary, middle and high school zone layers and the town boundary. LCPS does not publish a feeder list, so the feeder lines and shares are our count; the zone lines are the division’s own.
