CALHOUN SCHOOLS SHOW MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN LATEST OEPA AUDIT

(05/21/2015)

The state's most recent evaluation of Calhoun Schools presents an optimistic outlook for the education of Calhoun children, indicating that educators are doing their job. In the latest 2015 Office of Educational Performance Audit of Calhoun's three schools, there is marked improvement from an audit performed in 2012. In 2012, the last OEPA visit, the conclusion of the report says, "The Calhoun County School District is the lowest achieving district in the state of West Virginia." At that time OEPA said, "Much support has been given to Calhoun Middle/High School from the West Virginia Department of Education and RESA 5. Issues which influence student achievement have been identified as discussed throughout this report. Staff development and programs and practices have been provided to improve student achievement." In 2012, "Even with all these endeavors, student achievement remained below standard," said the audit. The latest OEPA audit indicates a significant turnaround for the schools.
