EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Loudoun County Public Schools – FY16 School Board Proposed Operating Budgets
Overview and LCPS Accomplishments
Loudoun County Public Schools’ enrollment continues to grow. As of September 30, 2014, 73,461 students attended Loudoun County’s 87 schools, a one-year increase of 3.7 percent. Loudoun County is one of the fastest-growing counties in America and is expected to continue attracting new residents. As an example, when the class of 2015 entered our school system as kindergarteners in 2002, it had 2,995 members and LCPS had an enrollment of 37,532 students in 51 schools. When this class graduates in June, it will have 4,777 members with 87 LCPS schools. ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT Loudoun County Public Schools had a 95.2 percent on-time graduation rate in 2014. The Class of 2014 earned $43,416,413 in scholarships, an increase of $8,484,809 over the $34,931,604 earned by the Class of 2013. 62.27 percent of the graduates said they would be attending a four-year college, while 27.80 percent said they would be attending a two-year school. 1.65 percent of the graduates said they would be joining the military. 71 percent of the members of the Class of 2014 received an Advanced Studies (AP) diploma. 2014 SAT scores for LCPS stayed well above state and national averages. The average overall score for the 3,536 LCPS students who took the SAT was 1,611, compared to 1,520 for Virginia students and 1,471 for students nationwide. The 1,611 was 5 points higher than the overall LCPS average for 2013. All 12 of the LCPS high schools eligible to be ranked nationally by The Washington Post’s Challenge Index received this honor in 2014. The Washington Post listed the top 2,093 (or 9 percent) of high schools in America based on the Challenge Index criteria. All LCPS high schools fell within the top 9 percent. Digital Promise, a national, independent nonprofit organization authorized by Congress to accelerate innovation in education, has named Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) as one of 11 new members accepted into the League of Innovative Schools, a national coalition of school district superintendents committed to innovation. Three LCPS elementary schools designated “focus” schools during the last two school years – Guilford, Rolling Ridge, and Sugarland– are Fully Accredited for 2014-15. (Focus schools are federally designated Title I schools that employ a state-approved academic coach to develop strategies to improve student performance. Guilford, Rolling Ridge and Sugarland received this designation during the 2011-12 school year.) Working in Support of Education (WISE), an educational non-profit, recently announced that 148 Virginia public schools were named Blue Star Schools and 300 Virginia teachers were named Gold Star Teachers for their students’ performance on the 2013-2014 WISE Financial Literacy Certification test. All 13 eligible Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) high schools were named Blue Star Schools (Rock Ridge High School was not yet open).

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Loudoun County Public Schools – FY16 School Board Proposed Operating Budgets
A record 47 Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) buildings have been awarded the 2014 ENERGY STAR label by the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). In addition to the ENERGY STAR designations, LCPS received Premier Membership in the EPA’s Certification Nation program. Certification Nation honors private and public entities that have achieved high ENERGY STAR participation as part of ENERGY STAR’s 15th anniversary. All eligible Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS) high schools have received the National Athletic Trainers’ Association Safe Sports School Award. This award champions safety and recognizes secondary schools that provide safe environments for student athletes. The award reinforces the importance of providing the best level of care, injury prevention and treatment. In 2014, U.S. News & World Report ranked 3 LCPS high schools among the best in the nation – Loudoun Valley (14th in VA; 316th Nationally); Dominion (15th in VA; 326th Nationally); and Potomac Falls (18th in VA; 387th Nationally). 23 LCPS Schools honored by State VIP Awards. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT LCPS continues to be an integral part of the Loudoun community. Parents and other volunteers donate nearly 200,000 hours a year to support schools by mentoring, tutoring, helping with special projects, fundraising and reading. Besides LCPS students, Loudoun County’s Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, churches, homeowners associations, PTA’s and PTO’s, youth and adult sports leagues, the YMCA, 4-H, adult education classes, civic organizations and the Boy and Girl Scouts use the interior facilities and athletic fields of the public schools. During the 2013-2014 school year, 2,158 facility use requests were processed. Community groups used 60 school gymnasiums in 2013-2014 for recreational basketball, volleyball and other indoor activities. 62 school athletic fields were used in 2013-2014 for community recreational programs. LCPS facilities were utilized by 54 churches during 2013-2014 for church activities.
