==Schools of excellence==
Prince William County Public Schools honors schools as Schools of Excellence based on a variety of criteria, including: performance targets; [[Adequate Yearly Progress]] under the [[No Child Left Behind Act]]; Virginia Wellness Tests; school attendance rates; and parent, student, and teacher satisfaction. The [[Virginia]] state [[Standards of Learning]] (SOL) tests for both students on grade level and students below grade level are also considered.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pwcs.edu/admin/recognition/ |title=Prince William County Public Schools |access-date=2010-02-16 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20090816052519/http://www.pwcs.edu/admin/recognition/ |archive-date=2009-08-16 }}</ref> In 2006, the criteria were adjusted to reflect the continuous improvement of the system's schools.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://pwcs.edu/admin/recognition/Excellence05/Excellence.html |title=Prince William County Public Schools |website=pwcs.edu |access-date=13 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070302214244/http://pwcs.edu/admin/recognition/Excellence05/Excellence.html |archive-date=2 March 2007 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
