Understanding the 7/10 Rating
SchoolDistrictFinder rates Kanawha County School District 7 out of 10 — above average among West Virginia public school districts. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection. We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because West Virginia is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
