| In the ever changing world of how to evaluate the outcome of education, Calhoun
County schools posted mostly good results, with a few negatives, on the West
Virginia Report Card for 2001-02.
The annual Report Card contains data on all 55 county school systems.
Calhoun County has a total school enrollment of 1,289.
Curriculum Director Greg Cartwright said "I think we are doing a good job for the
kids," after reviewing the report.
The overall Calhoun attendance rates and average class sizes were equal to most
schools in the state.
The drop-out rate was higher in the county 4.6 to the state average of 2.5, although
Cartwright said the dropout rate represents a very few individuals.
SAT-9 test results were good in most grades, but came up short in grades 5, 9 and
10. Test scores have been below average in Grade 9 for several years.
GRADE 5 AVERAGES:
SAT-9 Calhoun 53 State 60
GRADE 9 AVERAGES:
SAT-9 Calhoun 50 State 60
Grade 10 AVERAGES:
SAT-9 Calhoun 51 State 61
This is the last years for the SAT-9 testing system.
