Strategic Recommendations

  • 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.

  1. Staffing (Reading Specialists/Interventionists): $250,000

  2. High-Dosage Tutoring Stipends: $75,000

  3. Adaptive Software Licenses: $40,000

  4. Professional Development: $30,000

  5. Total Est. Investment: $395,000 (Approx. 0.3% of total budget)

7. Next Steps for Superintendent

  1. Present Plan: Review this draft with the Board of Education at the next monthly meeting.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.
