Wood County Schools is proud to announce that it has met all requirements for county approval and accreditation as determined by the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE). This recognition reflects the district’s commitment to providing a thorough and efficient education for every student while maintaining operational excellence across all areas.

Each year, the WVBE reviews county scorecards and efficiency profiles provided by the Office of Accountability to determine county statuses. These reviews include measures of student performance, as well as county operational effectiveness. Wood County Schools earned a “Meets Requirements” rating on all 11 Efficiency Indicators—including Career Technical Education, Child Nutrition, Facilities, Finance, Personnel, Transportation, Special Education, Universal Pre-K Readiness, and more.

In addition, the district met standards across all Balanced Scorecard Indicators of Student Performance and Success, which measure achievement and progress in areas such as English Language Arts, Mathematics, English Learners, Attendance, Behavior, Graduation Rates, and Post-Secondary Achievement. Meeting these rigorous standards demonstrates both the dedication of Wood County Schools’ staff and the hard work of its students. Wood County Schools continues to improve the focus indicators of attendance, English learner progress, and on-track to graduation.

“We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment,” said Christie Willis, Superintendent. “It reflects the daily efforts of our educators, administrators, staff, students, and families who work together to ensure that every child in Wood County receives a high-quality education.”

By achieving this status, Wood County Schools reaffirms its commitment to excellence and continuous improvement, ensuring that the district remains focused on student success and operational efficiency.
