Average math scores in Virginia rose slightly and reading performance remained static in the 2009-2010 school year, but the vast majority of schools across the state failed to meet new performance benchmarks for graduation rates and students with disabilities.
Fairfax County was the only school division in Northern Virginia and one of only 12 across the state -- out of 132 -- that met all requirements, compared with 60 last year. In all, 60 percent of public schools met state testing goals, down from 71 percent last year.
