The West Virginia Accountability System (WVAS) for public education, developed in accordance with the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965, as amended by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015, was designed to provide meaningful feedback about county and school performance, and these data results are located on the WV Balanced Scorecard dashboard. County and school performance determinations derived from the WVAS are profoundly dependent on the availability, validity, and reliability of multiple sources of information about the state’s public education system. The principal sources of information are data submitted and certified as accurate by local school districts through the West Virginia Education Information System (WVEIS) and validated data derived from WVDE-approved assessments administered by counties, and processed through ZoomWV, West Virginia’s source for validated pre-K through grade 12 education data. The WVDE has made every reasonable effort to ensure that the data used in county and school performance determinations are accurate.
