Virginia students’ reading and math assessments in grades 3 through 8 for the 2024-25 school year improved despite the commonwealth making assessments more “rigorous” for students, according to data released by the Department of Education on Wednesday.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin credited the “Restoring Excellence to Education” plan, which included setting higher expectations and supporting schools with financial investments, improving transparency and accountability by providing “easy-to-understand” information for parents, and combating learning loss with the “ALL IN VA” initiative, which also improved student attendance.
