West Virginia public school students, including those in Morgan County Schools, are improving in English language arts (ELA), mathematics and science according to the most recent state assessment data released by the West Virginia Board of Education (WVBE) recently.
The state board received results from the 2024-2025 student assessments during its meeting last month in Charleston.
These include the West Virginia General Summative Assessment (WVGSA) for Grades 3-8, the SAT School Day for Grade 11, and the West Virginia Alternative Summative Assessment for Grades 3-8 and 11.
According to the report, 48 of the 55 counties improved in mathematics, with 26 of them meeting or exceeding annual growth targets set by the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE). In English Language Arts, 52 counties showed improved proficiency, with 30 of them meeting or exceeding the annual growth target.
