loudoun county public schools: Court Ruling On Purcellville High School, "Loudoun 5" Now "Tuscarora" - 09/12/08 01:56 PM

loudoun county public schools: Loudoun County Public Schools Don't Make List Of Most Challenging To Students - 10/04/07 12:55 PM

Sixteen schools in the DC/MD/VA area made the Top 100 list of the 2007 Washington Post Challenge Index, but none were from Loudoun County. The index measures a public high school's effort to challenge its students. The rating is not a measurement of the overall quality of the school, but illuminates one factor that many educators consider important.
