The Charlottesville City School System was fully accredited for 2017-18. Burnley-Moran Elementary School's student population of 319 students has declined by 21% over five school years.

Per-pupil expenditure

The Department of Education’s annual School Quality Profiles report, which had provided per-student spending at district, state and the federal levels for decades, now publishes data at the individual school level for the first time. The federal Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 requires that states publish annual school-level per-pupil expenditures on their online school report cards, beginning with data for the 2018-2019 school year. At Charlottesville’s six elementary schools, expenditures ranged from $14,509 at Burnley-Moran to $16,857 at Clark during the 2018-19 school year; district-wide, the per-pupil expenditure was $15,497 compared to $11,560 statewide.

Charlottesville City Schools spent $17,305 per-pupil at the division level in 2018-2019. The statewide average spending for the same time-frame was $11,560. For the upcoming 2020-2021 year, the division has budgeted spending $18,548 per student.

FY2020-2021 Annual Budget

The school system could spend $1.25 million in FY2021 on updates to classrooms and the media center. [4]

The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) assessment program includes Standards of Learning tests and other assessments approved by the Board of Education to measure student learning and achievement in English, mathematics, history and science. The passing score for the Virginia SOL tests is 400 based on a reporting scale that ranges from 0 to 600. A scaled score of 0 to 399 means a student did not pass a test. A scaled score of 400 to 499 means a student passed a test and was classified as Proficient.
Note: Annual accreditation is waived for all Virginia public schools for the 2020-2021 school year due to the cancellation of spring 2020 state assessments.
