Today, Accomack County Public Schools joined schools across Virginia for the 10th Annual “Crunch Heard ’Round the Commonwealth” and our students and staff were ready to make some noise! 🍎

Schools across the county took a moment to bite into fresh locally grown apples together, celebrating the farmers who grow our food, the importance of fresh, local foods, and the connection between our classrooms and our community.

From one end of Accomack County to the other, we heard a whole lot of CRUNCHING! Even our kindergarteners from PES participated on their field trip!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make today’s celebration possible and to our local farmers and school nutrition teams for helping bring fresh, healthy foods to our students today and every day.

A big thank you to the Eastern Shore of Virginia Chamber of Commerce for welcoming our Nandua Middle School Career Investigations class! Just down the road from school, our ambitious students had the opportunity to learn how the Chamber helps support a healthy local economy by connecting businesses with resources, promoting tourism, and strengthening our community.

And the career dreams in this group? BIG!

Our students shared their interests, with future goals ranging from nursing and small business ownership to welding, culinary arts, and even professional soccer!

We are thankful for local partners like the ESVA Chamber of Commerce who take the time to invest in our students, share thoughtful insights about the workforce, and help them see the many possibilities that await them right here in our community.

ACPS Announces Growth: VDOE School Performance and Support Framework Scores

ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va. — The Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) has released the 2025–2026 School Performance and Support Framework Scores, providing a comprehensive look at school performance and student achievement across the Commonwealth. Accomack County Public Schools (ACPS) is proud to report that every school in the division improved its Framework Score from the previous school year.

The VDOE School Performance and Support Framework uses multiple indicators of school quality and student achievement, including student mastery, growth in reading and mathematics, readiness, and high school graduation rates. The Framework Scores provide a baseline for understanding school performance and identifying areas where additional support and resources can help students and staff continue to grow.

This summer, the VDOE updated its Performance Categories, transitioning from Distinguished, On Track, Off Track, and Needing Intensive Support to Distinguished, Meets Expectations, Approaching Expectations, and Needs Intensive Support. Below are the Framework Scores and Performance Categories for Accomack County Public Schools. All schools showed growth in their Framework Score, and two schools moved into the Distinguished Category.

“We are proud of the progress reflected in these Framework Scores and, most importantly, of the work happening every day in our classrooms,” said Dr. Miller, Superintendent of Accomack County Public Schools. “The improvement across every school demonstrates the dedication of our students, teachers, support staff, school leaders, and families to our students' academic achievement. While we celebrate these gains, we also recognize that the data provides us with valuable information about where we can continue to grow and how we can best support our schools. From here, we will continue raising the standard across every school community.”

Tangier Combined School was not assigned a Framework Score because its enrollment was too small to meet the scoring requirements.

The 2025–2026 results provide ACPS with an opportunity to celebrate progress while continuing to focus on student achievement, instructional growth, and the individual needs of each school community.

📣🏆ACPS Nursing Students Earn Second Place at Virginia State Fair Health Occupations Students of America Competition

ACCOMACK COUNTY, Va. — Accomack County Public Schools is proud to recognize the senior Nursing students for their outstanding performance at the Virginia State Fair Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) competition on October 1, 2026, in Doswell. The students earned second place in two categories, showcasing their creativity, research skills, and knowledge of health and wellness.

At the beginning of the 2026-2027 school year, students were presented with four healthcare-related categories in which to demonstrate their skills and knowledge. After spending weeks researching their topics, developing their concepts, and assembling their final displays, the ACPS students competed against 20 other schools in three categories, taking second place in two.

👋Medical Misinformation Display: (2nd Place) The students tackled the common claim that cracking your knuckles causes arthritis, researching the science behind the claim and presenting their findings.
👕HOSA T-Shirt Design: (2nd Place) Students created a design around this year's theme, “Redefine the Standard.”
🧠Brain Diorama: Students explored ways to maintain brain health, creating a three-dimensional display to communicate their research.

While the Virginia State Fair competition does not advance students to another competition, the students will have another opportunity to compete at the HOSA Spring Leadership Conference in Williamsburg in February 2027. At that event, students will have the opportunity to advance to state and national competitions.

ACPS congratulates the Nursing students on their second-place finishes and recognizes their dedication to research, creativity, collaboration, and career preparation. Their success reflects the value of hands-on learning and the opportunities provided through Career and Technical Education. 💪🩺
