Cox & Kellam are the only VB schools without an "Academy".

They were designed to allow better students to attend the lesser performing schools. And thus now the overall rating of the underperforming schools has been raised.

Now, if you're not a member of the academy at each school, you're likely still seriously underperforming.

I think it's fairly well known both Kellam & Cox have the highest overall academic (and athletic) levels. That shows up in the drive for living in those neighborhoods. Military demand when moving into the area.

Learned some interesting things about the houses I grew up in -- HokieMacDaddy 04/06/2020 09:02AM

I was looking at these when we were buying home in Fairfax county -- dans93 04/06/2020 12:06PM

I've seen similar discrepancies. I like Niche a lot better for school info ** -- HokieMacDaddy 04/06/2020 12:21PM

I feel like most that go online to leave reviews of schools are those that -- HokieGator 04/06/2020 09:59AM

Most real estate sites aren't basing their school ratings on user entries. -- Late 80s Hokie 04/06/2020 10:09AM

And that's killing my home value. ** -- 48zip 04/06/2020 10:17AM

Wow, a 1200 sf house built in 1962 for only $175/sf? How quaint.** -- HokieNoVA 04/06/2020 09:25AM

Quaint only because it comes with cat piss soaked carpets. ** -- HokieFan14 04/06/2020 09:29AM

I meant the price was quaint. Where I'm sitting its almost twice as much. ** -- HokieNoVA 04/06/2020 09:38AM

Oh, I know! Was just joking on HMD for the issues he encountered. ** -- HokieFan14 04/06/2020 09:47AM

Likely due to proximity to water. That drives real estate values in VB. ** -- Stork 04/06/2020 09:27AM

Meaning bay/ocean? B/c this house is landlocked in PA Plaza ** -- HokieMacDaddy 04/06/2020 09:33AM

Ha. No. Nothing drives up the price in the Plaza. ** -- Stork 04/06/2020 10:08AM

Cox & Kellam are the only VB schools without an "Academy". -- Stork 04/06/2020 09:23AM

Sorry, lower number is better? ** -- `lag 04/06/2020 09:20AM

No lower number means bad -- HokieForever 04/06/2020 09:22AM

Tanks. ** -- `lag 04/06/2020 09:25AM

I can't believe Cox is that low. Beach schools are one of the big -- No Clue 04/06/2020 09:09AM

But the HS students spend all their time smoking dope and surfing (TIC) ** -- EDGEMAN 04/06/2020 09:48AM

If they're anything like the kids who went there when I did... ** -- HokieMacDaddy 04/06/2020 10:49AM

Awesome! -- Chris Coleman
