In 2007, the school's Odyssey of the Mind team won regional and state titles for their creative problem-solving, and competed in the 28th Annual OM World Finals. The team of 7 students placed in the top 15 percent with a 9th place award among the 63 teams in their division. Odyssey of the Mind makes learning fun while giving kids the chance to explore their imaginations and express their creativity.
The Virginia Department of Education developed the Standards of Learning to establish a criteria of knowledge for each grade level. State SOL tests are administered each spring to measure student achievement. Teachers at Kilby Shores enhance the curriculum through the use of desktop computers, smartboards, laptop computers, math and science manipulatives, teacher-made games, and teacher-made assessments that model the format of state SOL tests, and a multitude of additional activities.
