Recently, Building Goodness Foundation (BGF) made repairs and improvements to facilities for four nonprofit organizations and one local home owner in our community. Work included prep and painting of four classrooms at Piedmont YMCA Early Learning Center, renovating a cottage at Georgia’s Healing House, porch renovations to improve entrance/exit safety at Barrett Early Learning Center, and installing a new playground at Pilgrim Baptist Church.

Through BGF, skilled construction professionals donate their time and expertise to build structures and provide home repairs for people in need. With donated construction services and reduced-cost materials, BGF provides complete design and construction services to nonprofit organizations at about one sixth the market value of the project. Local low-income homeowners

receive home repairs at no cost.

Every year BGF completes construction projects for several local nonprofit organizations and low-income homeowners, impacting the lives of approximately 8,500 Charlottesville-area residents. BGF is intentional when choosing projects, focusing on those which boost health, support education, reduce inequalities, increase our partners’ capacity to fulfill their missions, and improve lives in our community.

Learn more about partnering with BGF to ensure that people, both here in central Virginia and internationally, receive the best education and health care, and enjoy ongoing economic stability. Visit our website at www.buildinggoodness.org or contact our offices at 434-973-0993 to learn more about ways to give and volunteer with BGF to help create safe, thriving communities for generations to come.

elcome to our annual article proudly featuring our local public schools.

If you plan to move to or within the Charlottesville area or to the Shenandoah Valley and want to know more about the school systems, you can learn all about them right here.

Be prepared to be amazed at the impressive resources available in every district.

Albemarle County Public Schools Albemarle County Public Schools continued to rank among top performing school divisions in the nation during the 2018-19 school year according to Niche, the national education assessment organization.

Niche, which bases its rankings of school divisions in all fifty states on statistics from such organizations as the U.S. Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics and the Civil Rights Data Collection, also analyzes millions of reviews from students and parents.

Albemarle County Public Schools in Top Two Percent Within the Commonwealth, Albemarle County Public Schools was rated the third best school division and the performance of its administrators, teachers and students placed it within the top two percent of all public school divisions in the nation. This finding was based on state and national test scores of students, on-time graduation rates, teacher quality and college readiness programs.

Niche examined nearly 11,000 school divisions and more than 83,000 public schools across the country.

The county’s state and national rankings were confirmed during the year by performance results released by the state and the College Board. Albemarle’s on-time graduation rate of 92.7 percent was the ninth consecutive year that it surpassed 90 percent and the 11th in which it exceeded Virginia’s statewide rate. It also exceeded the national average by nearly 10 points.

Measured against the most rigorous academic standard, 63 percent of the county’s graduating seniors earned an Advanced Studies Diploma, 11 percentage points better than their Commonwealth peers.

Notably, more than 400 county high school graduates earned Advanced Placement test scores of three or higher on a scale of five, which positioned them to receive college credit for their high school class. The percentage of

students who received a score of three or greater in the county was 50 percent higher than the average for all Virginia graduates and nearly twice the national average.

Results from the College Board’s Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) reaf-

firmed the strength of these numbers.

Reading and Writing test results for students in the county’s four high schools were 29 points higher than the statewide average and 63 points above their national peers. Similarly, math test scores exceeded statewide and na-

tional averages by 36 points and 63 points respectively.

The College Board also evaluated students based on a college readiness score that projects a 65 percent likelihood that a student will achieve a grade point average of B or higher during

their first year of college. Sixty-seven percent of our high school students met this standard, surpassing state and national averages by 13 and 23 points.

State Awards for Four Elementary Schools During the most recent school year, four elementary schools—Hollymead, Meriwether Lewis, Murray and Stone-Robinson—received Virginia Index of Performance Awards based upon the academic performance of their students.

The 2018-19 school year also represented a giant step forward in the school division’s continuing commitment to diversify the high school learning experience.

The Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center (CATEC) increased its connections to local employers, taking advantage of the robust economy to expand apprenticeship opportunities for students in the building trades. A new state grant funded a pre-apprenticeship program that will enable students to become full apprentices as early as their 20th birthday, compared to age 28, the statewide average.

Many building trades classes are dual enrolled, meaning students earn both high school and college credits.

This past year, 161 CATEC students earned more than 1,800 college credits during their studies.

This past year also marked the debut of the county’s first student center located in an industrial business park on Route 29. Center students have greater flexibility to work with teachers in designing their curriculum and grading standards and often work across disciplines as did one who combined her interest in art and science to produce a book for patients at UVA’s Children’s Hospital.

She later was awarded a presidential scholarship to the Rochester Institute

of Technology and credited her experiences at the student center for making that possible.

Next year, the center will expand from 21 students to as many as 60 and eventually will accommodate up to 150. As part of the model, the center is located adjacent to businesses to increase school-community partnerships around internship, mentoring and job shadowing opportunities for high school students.

The county is designing a second center, for 400 students, scheduled to open in 2021. Students from throughout the county are eligible to attend a center.

Dr. Haas’ Listening Tour Superintendent Dr. Matthew Haas pointed out that the high school centers fulfill one of the findings in his 100-day report to the School Board.

Dr. Haas conducted a series of listening tours with teachers, students, parents and community leaders during his first 100 days as the school division’s 20th superintendent. Among the recommendations from those conversations was the value of challenging students in ways that increase their engagement with their own learning and enhance their academic performance.

Other improvements identified by Dr. Haas were: • Improvements in the division’s process for evaluating teacher performance to make it simpler, easier to understand, and more relevant for teachers.

• Expansion of instructional programs that promote the development of skills for students in four areas: critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.

• Broadening opportunities for all students to provide feedback to teachers on classroom learning experiences.

• A reform of the current grading system, now almost exclusively based

New Online System Matches Volunteers with Student Needs A catalyst for creating those experiences, Dr. Haas said, is the school division’s new online system for matching volunteers with specific needs at division schools. Called Community Connect it offers a wide range of service opportunities for volunteers at each school.

Anti-Racism Policy Among the significant achievements of 2018-19 offering the highest potential for long-term success was the School Board’s adoption of an anti-racism policy, addressing another priority identified in the superintendent’s listening tour—the removal of learning barriers among all students.

The policy, one of the first of its kind among K-12 school divisions in Virginia, will be implemented during the 2019-20 school year. It follows a directive from Dr. Haas in February of 2018, and supported by the School Board, that prohibits the wearing of clothing in schools if that clothing contains symbols, lettering or insignia of organizations or groups associated with white supremacy, racial hatred or violence.

The 2019-20 school year promises to continue the school division’s strong upward path, building upon an ontime graduation rate that is among the very best in the state; drop-out rates much lower than state and national

averages; improvements in student suspension rates, student attendance records more favorable than state averages and school learning climate reports that continue to be more positive than many of the reports from school divisions across Virginia.

Augusta County Public Schools Augusta County Public Schools educates more than 10,300 students in 20 schools. Augusta County has 9 elementary schools (grades PreK-5), 4 middle schools (grades 6-8), 5 high schools (grades 9-12), a Career and Technical Center and a Regional Governor’s School. The division employs approximately 841 teachers.

The reputation of the county’s public schools often inspires families to make their home in Augusta County.

ery student and more, the City schools are White House-certified to be “future-ready” and a charter member of the League of Innovative Schools.

Charlottesville City Schools is known for its commitment to the fine arts. CHS has earned 11 state-wide Blue Ribbons in recognition of excellence in band, choir, and orchestra. Art and music begin in the elementary schools, and fourth-graders even participate in a special dance education program with the Richmond Ballet.

From fifth grade on, students can be active in art, band, choir, orchestra, theatre, and special programs such as dance or step teams. Students also learn about the arts through regular field trips to live performances as well as school visits from guest artists and authors.

Science and engineering labs at Buford Middle School and Charlottesville High School support innovative STEM education. Buford’s science and engineering program is a cutting-edge collaboration between the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education and School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Smithsonian Institution and other area school divisions.

CHS offers every possible AP class in computer science, engineering, math, and science, and the school’s science club regularly wins honors in state and international competitions.

Our “iSTEM” teachers work in all the Charlottesville schools—even at the elementary level—to lay a strong, handson foundation for science, technology, engineering, and math.

CHS offers approximately 30 college-level (Advanced Placement and dual enrollment) courses, and is the only regional one on The Washington Post’s list of Challenge Schools that encourages a wide variety of students to take AP classes and tests. CHS students far outperform their state and national peers on AP and SAT tests, and our schools surpass the state’s benchmarks for the Standards of Learning (SOL) tests.

The Charlottesville schools are part of their community and the world!

In the past year, CCS students won acclaim in art, athletics, community leadership, debate, engineering, film-making, geography, math, music, programming, robotics, scholastic quiz bowl, and theatre. In addition, the school division has won acclaim for incorporating social-emotional learning into classroom instruction and emphasizing positive supports and wellness.

We are committed to offering these opportunities and supports to all students for the benefit of our whole community, eliminating race and income

Schools For nearly two decades, student enrollment has hovered around 1,700 students in four schools: Madison Primary School (PK-2), Waverly Yowell Elementary School (3-5), William H. Wetsel Middle School (6-8), and Madison County High School (9-12). dent is challenged to reach his or her maximum potential.

Recent academic testing results demonstrate the depth of Louisa County Public Schools’ commitment to excellence. For three consecutive years, all six schools have earned full accreditation from the Virginia Department of Education, having met or exceeded the standards required by SOL assessments.

Louisa County Public Schools emphasizes the development of The 5 Cs of Communication, Collaboration, Creativity, Critical Thinking, and Citizenship in all students. These qualities are developed through a combination of proven instructional practices and innovative, hands-on learning opportunities.

All four elementary schools feature STEAM Labs, where students develop skills in science, technology, engineering, art, and math through the utilization of robots, technology, construction sets, and more. A trip to an LCPS STEAM Labs brings ingenuity and creativity to life!

At the elementary level, Louisa County Public Schools also recently introduced full-time Talented and Gifted teachers, a World Languages program, and reading labs!

At the middle and high school level, students benefit from the school division’s extensive Career and Technical Education (CTE) program. LCPS CTE is one of just five pilot members of the Virginia Department of Labor’s Registered Apprenticeship Program. In fact, Louisa County Public Schools was the only rural school division selected as a pilot member.

LCPS CTE offers more than 50 hands-on courses, such as automotive technology, construction, cosmetology, horticulture science, nursing, technology systems, welding, and more.

LCPS CTE continues to expand, and the program now partners with more than 50 local businesses to introduce student apprentices into the workforce.

In May 2019, a total of 319 graduates received their diplomas at the high school’s 79th annual commencement service. Of those graduates, 56 percent received an Advanced Studies Diploma, and 55 percent earned a CTE Seal. Research from the Virginia Department of Education indicates that nearly 74 percent of Louisa County High School graduates are offered admission to the college or university of their choice, a rate that is second in the entire region!

Louisa County Public Schools employs approximately 390 teachers and serves approximately 4,950 students.

Staunton City Public Schools Located in the historic Shenandoah Valley, Staunton is one of Virginia’s finest small cities, offering an enjoyable lifestyle with beautiful neighborhoods, large urban parks, a wide range of cultural amenities, award-winning healthcare, and a relatively low cost of living.

Known for its history, architecture, arts and culture, and culinary delights, Staunton is one of the best small towns in America.

Staunton City Schools (SCS) is a highly-rated public school division with a student population of approximately 2,700 students and is home to three elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, a preschool program and an alternative education program. The school division is committed to its students and to providing an excellent educational program— where teachers value the uniqueness of each student and strive to challenge them daily.

SCS provides an abundance of opportunities to meet the varied needs and interests of all students. SCS has three elementary schools serving students in grades K-5: Bessie Weller Elementary, T.C. McSwain Elementary, and A. R. Ware Elementary. At the elementary level, the focus is on engaging students in authentic work such as reading, writing, thinking, problem-solving, and developing skills and strategies that will carry them to great success throughout their school careers.

During these early years, teachers not only teach foundations of learning, but also help build strong life skills such as collaboration, critical and creative thinking, communication, and citizenship.

Upon completion of the elementary grades, students from across the City attend Shelburne Middle School, which serves all county students in grades 6-8. While using and further developing the skills learned in elementary school, middle school encourages students to explore a variety of subject areas and activities, including careers and special interests, as students begin to develop an Academic and Career Plan to help guide them throughout the remainder of their school years.

In Staunton City Schools, the middle school provides a supportive and stimulating environment for students as they make the transition into adolescence, increasing academic demands and moving towards greater self-reliance. Students are placed on teams to

support their social, physical, emotional, and intellectual development. Each team helps to foster student growth into responsible, productive adults with the skills and attitudes necessary for success in life. The camaraderie that develops among the students in middle school grows into an even greater sense of pride and school spirit as they move to the city’s only high school, Staunton High School serves students in grades 9-12. The high school was a recent recipient of the 2018 High School Innovation Grant, provided by the Virginia Department of Education to only five schools in Virginia. The high school is focused on providing the most robust college and career pathways for all students as possible, where students continue to refine their future plans and adjust their Academic and Career Plans to meet their evolving interests.

Staunton High School offers a comprehensive program, including courses in advanced placement, honors, career and technical, special education, dual enrollment, online, and alternative education. Advanced Placement (AP) courses are offered in English, US History, Government, and Biology. Honors courses are offered in all core subject areas. Dual-enrollment classes are offered in conjunction with Blue Ridge Community College.

The Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School (SVGS) for Math, Science, and Technology and the Governor’s School for the Arts and Humanities are offered to junior and senior applicants.

The school also partners with the Valley Career and Technical Center to provide outreach courses and practical experiences for students, based on career interests.

Staunton City Schools’ students and staff are active participants in life-long learning and healthy, active lifestyles.

Our schools are a celebration of learning, personal growth, and community building. Whether you are a parent, student, community member or want to become a member of our community, we welcome you!

Waynesboro City Public Schools A Little Community with Giant Opportunities With a population of approximately 3,000 students and 500 employees, Waynesboro City Public Schools is the center of the Waynesboro community.

Berkeley Glenn Elementary, Wenonah Elementary, Westwood Hills Elementary, and William Perry Elementary Schools serve our students in grades K-5. After elementary school, our students come together to attend Kate Collins Middle School (grades 6-8) and Waynesboro High School (grades 9-12). We also have a prekindergarten program at the Wayne Hills Center serving approximately 120 additional students.

Waynesboro City Public Schools is committed to a quality education that includes a strong academic program designed to meet student needs; comprehensive programs that prepare and encourage students to be productive citizens; quality learning environments and school facilities; a diverse, highly trained staff committed to working effectively with youth; and strong partnerships with parents and the community.

Ultimately, our goal is to provide the foundation for our students to graduate career-ready—to enter the workforce, to further educational opportunities, to join the military, or to pursue other options for their future.

We do this by providing “Giant” opportunities. Our students are recognized for their academic achievement while earning a Standard or Advanced Studies Diploma with the opportunity to earn additional seals—Governor’s Board of Education, Career and Technical, Advanced Mathematics and Technology, Excellence in Civics, and Excellence in Science.

Students are able to take advantage of Dual Enrollment opportunities in a partnership with Blue Ridge Community College, Advance Placement opportunities, Virtual Virginia classes, and the Early College Scholars Program. Other opportunities include regional programs at Valley Career and Technical Center and Shenandoah Valley Governor’s School. A fifth cohort of Valley Scholars, made up of middle and high school students, begins this fall in a partnership with James Madison University.

The opportunity for student expression through the arts and physical education provides other “Giant” opportunities for Waynesboro City Public School students. Our students have music, art, and physical education programs taught by specialists in all of our schools.

Skillful Sketchers and Signature Singers extend the learning for our students who want to expand their experiences in the elementary schools. Full time art, band, and choral teachers provide for music and instruction in both the middle and high schools. In fact, because of our strong foundational programs in the lower grades, our high school has three full time art teachers.

The physical education programs have flourished as well. Our teams are competitive and provide many evenings of entertainment and pride for the community. Regional track meets are often held in Waynesboro because of the state-of-the-art track and soccer facility.

The Waynesboro High School mascot is the “Little Giant.” All of our students will become a “Little Giant” and we are very proud of that. You will recognize them by their ability to problem-solve, their use of technology, their strong work ethic, and their commitment to excellence. Waynesboro students are ready for the world and will continue to benefit from the “Little Community with Giant Opportunities.”

When it comes to housing, little things shouldn’t make a difference.

If you have children or are pregnant and a landlord refuses to rent to you, requires a higher security deposit, limits the use of facilities, or says you can only live in certain areas of a housing complex ... that could be discrimination.
