How to read these scores

What is EDFacts (WV-GSA)?
EDFacts (WV-GSA) is the statewide standardized test administered by West Virginia public schools.
What does "% Proficient (federal, SY 2020-21)" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 24.5% mean for English Language Arts at Little Birch Elementary School?
It means about 24.5 percent of students tested at Little Birch Elementary School performed at grade level or above on the EDFacts (WV-GSA) English Language Arts test in 2020-21. The statewide average for West Virginia that year was 39.7%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in West Virginia, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
West Virginia — ZoomWV public dashboard is built on Infor BI without a usable export endpoint, so we fall back to the federal EDFacts SCH-level file (SY 2020-21). Values are reported as % ranges (midpoint stored).
How often is it updated?
EDFacts (WV-GSA) is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
