Sorry for sounding defensive but wanted to clarify:
From what I understand the Hampton Roads region consists of nine independent cities: Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk, and Virginia Beach cover the Southside of Hampton Roads while Hampton, Newport News, Poquoson, and Williamsburg reside on the Peninsula.

From VB Schools press release it states : "Virginia Beach led all other school divisions in Hampton Roads in scores for reading, math and writing. The 2016 scores are also the highest for the division since 2005, the last time the SAT was previously revised".

Here is a link http://ftpcontent4.worldnow.com/wwbt...YDISTRICT.xlsx to a spreadsheet for the 2016 SAT scores for all Virginia school districts. You will clearly see that VB did not score higher than Williamsburg/ James City, York County or Poquoson.

And here is the a breakdown for all HR school districts

I don't think you sound defensive at all. Most of the time the data is either skewed, or presented deceptively to sound favorable. Virginia Beach especially is like a petulant child; "Oh, you did this? Well, I did it SO much better!" The city very much has a Napoleon complex.

Is Virginia Beach short? Seems to me it's quite large. And even has a relatively long name.

FYI I sent a request to the person in VB schools who issued that press release. She hasn't responded as to why its inaccurate.

She probably has her head in the sand. It's the activity of choice in the city.
