West Virginia Data Desk

Find the records behind a local education story. Start with a jurisdiction, inspect the reporting period and definitions, and download evidence you can check and cite. Coverage is source-specific. Missing or suppressed values are not zero, and similarly named measures are not necessarily comparable across states.

Why coverage is 93.3%
656 of 703 district-by-topic cells have a published figure; 6 are withheld by the agency and 41 are documented as not published.
Staffing
55 of 64. Average contracted teacher salary (137 FTE): 9 districts. Notes differ by district. One example: WVDE's Office of School Finance salary workbooks (teachers, principals, superintendents) and the WVEIS certified list of personnel report the 55 county boards only; none has a row for Wisdom Academy.
Fiscal transparency
55 of 64. County board audit reports: 55 districts. Notes differ by district. One example: The State Auditor's Chief Inspector audits county boards of education, but no public index of the audit reports was found (2026-09-28). Vendor-level spending is published on wvCheckbook (County Education), which could not be retrieved without a browser; it is linked, not quoted. Proposed budget: beginning fund balance appropriated: 9 districts. Notes differ by district. One example: WVEIS's proposed-budget report, the source of fund balance here, has no row for Wisdom Academy.
Climate
56 of 64. Students with one or more out-of-school suspensions (federal CRDC): 2 districts. Notes differ by district. One example: Neither WVDE's scorecard nor the federal CRDC 2023-24 reports a count for West Virginia Schools of Diversion & Transition.
Limitation
The State Auditor's Chief Inspector audits county boards of education, but no public index of the audit reports was found (2026-09-28). Vendor-level spending is published on wvCheckbook (County Education), which could not be retrieved without a browser; it is linked, not quoted.
Limitation
WVEIS's proposed-budget report (SF000001) covers the 55 county boards and the educational service cooperatives only; it has no row for Wisdom Academy, a public charter school LEA.
Limitation
Wisdom Academy is a public charter school LEA and levies no property tax: in West Virginia only the 55 county boards of education levy school taxes (the State Auditor's levy table lists none for it). A charter is funded through transfers from the county boards of the students it enrols.
Limitation
WVDE's Office of School Finance salary workbooks (teachers, principals, superintendents) and the WVEIS certified list of personnel report the 55 county boards only; none has a row for Wisdom Academy.
Limitation
WVEIS's proposed-budget report, the source of fund balance here, has no row for Wisdom Academy.
Limitation
Every school of Wisdom Academy ends before grade 9, and the federal CRDC 2023-24 records no Advanced Placement or dual enrollment for it.
Limitation
Wisdom Academy's published figures each cover one year so far (it opened in 2025-26), so there is no series to trend yet.
Limitation
WVDE's SY25 and SY26 assessment files and its graduation files have no published result for West Virginia Schools of Diversion & Transition.
Reporting kits
No reporting kit download is offered for West Virginia. Held from open data pending WVDE's written permission and a State Auditor agreement: both restrict commercial use or resale. Each figure and its source remain on the district profiles.
