Accreditation

Louisa County Public Schools maintains a steadfast commitment to providing world-class educational opportunities for every student. Our goal is to create an environment where every student is challenged to reach his or her maximum potential.

Recent test scores indicate that Louisa County Public Schools is achieving that mission. During the summer of 2018, Louisa County Public Schools received confirmation that all six of the division's schools were fully accredited by the Virginia Department of Education. This marked the third consecutive year that Louisa County Public Schools accomplished the feat throughout the school division. Graduation

Louisa County Public Schools works hand-in-hand with the Virginia Department of Education's accreditation standards, which include:

- Providing an essential foundation of educational programs of high quality in all schools for all students.
- Encourage continuous appraisal and improvement of the school program for the purpose of raising student achievement.
- Foster public confidence.
- Assure recognition of Virginia's public schools by other institutions of learning.
- Establish a means of determining the effectiveness of schools.

In response to recent updates to accreditation standards by the Virginia Department of Education, Louisa County Public Schools has created a series of seven videos that concisely explain what the new accreditation model means. The videos also explain how schools throughout the Commonwealth will be accredited, as well as the changes to graduation requirements beginning with the Fall 2018 Freshman class.

The video series provides an overview of the system that will be used for the first time in Fall 2018, and will later become the sole accreditation model in Fall 2019.

These videos are a valuable resource and are written in a style that is friendly and understandable not just for administrators, but also for teachers, parents, and students.

#TeamLCPS is prepared for these new accreditation standards and greatly appreciates the privilege of educating the future leaders of the world!
