Rappahannock County's public schools are “fully accredited” now, according to the Virginia Department of Education.

The is an improvement over the rating of the high school and elementaiy school last year when both fell short of full accreditation even though they met state achievement goals on Standards of Learning (SOL) tests in English, mathematics, history and social science.

It took some persistence and patience from School Supt. Robert Chappell to secure the “fully accredited” status for the high school.

While the elementaiy school was “fully accredited” last month, the high school was listed on the Department of Education's website as “Provisionally Accredited, Needs Improvement.”
