West Virginia

West Virginia launched its Balanced Scorecard in school year 2017-18. The online report includes total school-level per-pupil expenditures and enables comparison of spending across schools within a district and with state and district averages. Explore West Virginia’s spending data below or jump over to the state report card HERE.

WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE REPORT CARD ABOUT PER SCHOOL SPENDING

How much does my school spend per student?
How does my school's spending compare to district and state averages?
