Understanding the 9/10 Rating
With a rating of 9/10 (top-tier), Chesapeake City Public Schools ranks among Virginia’s top-tier-rated school systems.

We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because Virginia is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
