District assessment data: Raleigh County officials present WVGSA projected vs. actual proficiency and propose data work sessions
Summary
District staff presented 2025/26 projected vs. actual WVGSA proficiency comparisons, noting county math projections were close to actual results and that some schools showed larger ELA variances; staff recommended targeted data work sessions and universal walkthroughs for instructional fidelity.
Miss Lowry presented district WVGSA proficiency comparisons for 2025 and 2026, showing projected vs. actual differences by school and subject and describing an instructional‑leadership plan of focused walkthroughs and coaching.
"For the county, we were spot on," Miss Lowry said of math projections, while noting ELA scores showed more variance. She pointed to school‑level differences — Marshfork reportedly performed 6% better in math than projected, while Daniels decreased by 7% — and said the balanced scorecard and accountability data will be available in the fall.
Board members asked for deeper, school‑by‑school analysis and suggested a work session to examine causes of large drops or gains; one board member asked that data‑digging be placed on a future work‑session agenda. District staff said they can bring additional data and that principals and directors can run walkthroughs and provide pacing guides to ensure consistent implementation of adopted curricula.
The meeting record shows the administration will pursue follow‑up work sessions and stronger data sharing with the board; no policy decisions were made at the July 28 meeting on assessment outcomes.
