- Replicate Hillsboro's Success: Analyze the specific pedagogical methods used at Hillsboro Elementary, particularly in Math (where they exceeded standards), and implement teacher-sharing or mentorship programs with Green Bank and Marlinton.
- Targeted Intervention at Green Bank: With proficiency rates hovering around 27%, Green Bank requires immediate Tier 2 and Tier 3 instructional support and potential resource reallocation.
- Math Focus at Middle School Level: Marlinton Middle shows a drop in Math proficiency compared to its feeder elementary school. A review of the 5th to 6th-grade math curriculum transition is recommended.
- Leverage Small Class Sizes: The district-wide student-teacher ratio (10.6:1) is a significant asset. Marketing this low ratio can help with enrollment retention and community support.

Putnam County Schools: Academic Acceleration & Intervention Plan (2025-2026)
Prepared for: Superintendent & Board of Education
Date: December 11, 2025
Objective: Increase District-wide Math and Reading proficiency to 60%+ by Spring 2026.
1. Executive Summary
While Putnam County Schools (PCS) significantly outperforms the West Virginia state average, current data indicates that approximately 47% of students in Reading and 52% in Math are not yet proficient. This intervention plan shifts focus from "maintenance" to "acceleration," utilizing the district's healthy per-pupil expenditure (~$13,200) to fund targeted support systems.
2. Data-Driven Needs Assessment
Current Reality:
High School Graduation Rate is excellent (93.8%), suggesting students are completing requirements, but content mastery gaps persist in earlier grades.
Math Gap: The 48% proficiency rate suggests a need for stronger conceptual foundations in Grades 3-8 (Winfield and Hurricane Middle Schools).
Literacy Gap: The 53% reading proficiency rate requires a focus on "Reading to Learn" in secondary education.
3. The "PCS Elevate" Framework (MTSS Model)
We will adopt a three-tier Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) across all 23 schools.
Tier 1: Core Instruction Strengthening (100% of Students)
Goal: Ensure the primary instruction is high-quality enough that 80% of students succeed without extra help.
Curriculum Audit: Immediate review of K-5 Math curriculum to ensure alignment with WV College- and Career-Readiness Standards.
"Win Block" Implementation: Every elementary and middle school schedule will include a 30-minute "What I Need" (WIN) block daily. This is protected time where no new content is taught; students either receive remediation or enrichment.
Professional Development: Training for all math teachers on Mathematical Discourse—moving students from memorizing formulas to explaining their logic.
Tier 2: Targeted Group Interventions (15% of Students)
Goal: Support students bubbling just below proficiency (the "Yellow" zone).
High-Dosage Tutoring:
Strategy: Partner with local universities (Marshall University, etc.) or use current staff for after-school tutoring.
Frequency: 3 sessions per week, 30 minutes each, groups of 1:4 ratio.
Focus: Specific skill gaps identified in interim assessments (e.g., fractions in 5th grade, algebra foundations in 8th grade).
Technology Integration: License adaptive learning software (e.g., i-Ready or IXL) specifically for Poca and Buffalo area schools to provide personalized practice paths.
Tier 3: Intensive Support (5% of Students)
Goal: Urgent, individualized support for students significantly below grade level.
Reading Specialists: Deploy 3 additional roving reading specialists to focus solely on K-2 early literacy in Title I schools (e.g., Buffalo Elementary, Hometown Elementary).
Progress Monitoring: Weekly valid assessments (CBMs) to track growth rates. If a student does not improve after 6 weeks, the intervention strategy changes immediately.
4. Specific Action Items by School Level
Level | Focus Area | Specific Action |
|---|---|---|
Elementary | Early Literacy | Implement "Science of Reading" phonics training for all K-2 teachers at West Teays, Scott Teays, and Conner Street. |
Middle | Math Fluency | Launch "Math 180" intervention courses at Hurricane and Winfield Middle for students scoring in the bottom 25th percentile. |
High | Transition Readiness | Create a "Freshman Academy" at Hurricane and Poca High to catch at-risk 9th graders before they fall behind in credits. |
5. Monitoring & Evaluation Metrics
We will move away from relying solely on end-of-year summative data.
Leading Indicators (Monthly):
% of students hitting growth targets on i-Ready/NWEA Map assessments.
Attendance rates in Tier 2/3 tutoring sessions.
Lagging Indicators (Yearly):
WV General Summative Assessment scores.
SAT School Day scores (Grade 11).
6. Budget Allocation (Estimate)
Leveraging existing Title I and State Aid funding.
Staffing (Reading Specialists/Interventionists): $250,000
High-Dosage Tutoring Stipends: $75,000
Adaptive Software Licenses: $40,000
Professional Development: $30,000
Total Est. Investment: $395,000 (Approx. 0.3% of total budget)
7. Next Steps for Superintendent
Present Plan: Review this draft with the Board of Education at the next monthly meeting.
Principal Buy-in: Host a workshop with the principals of the 4 high schools and 4 middle schools to customize the "WIN Block" for their specific schedules.
Parent Communication: Send a letter to families explaining the new "PCS Elevate" support system, emphasizing that it is about growth for every child, not just remediation.
