This year is really great!!! We have a new principal who is willing to work with us as parents. The atmosphere of the school is so much better now. I really like my child's third grade teacher, Mrs. Gordon. She is always so positive and caring.

My children have all attended Craigsville and they are on their way to becoming very productive citizens. The teachers try hard to keep up with the latest research on educational issues. There is an afterschool program in effect. I only wish they had more ways to engage the students and parents more actively in education. There needs to be more activities, like holiday programs, 9 week assemblies to honor achievements, student recognitions, etc.

About the tests


In 2009-2010 West Virginia used the West Virginia Educational Standards Test 2 (WESTEST 2) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and science, and grades 3 through 11 in social studies. The WESTEST 2 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of West Virginia. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
