Welcome to the Raleigh County Schools Website

Message from the Superintendent

Raleigh County is located in southern West Virginia approximately 60 miles from the state capital of Charleston. The school district is comprised of 29 schools, including four high schools, five middle schools, 19 elementary schools and one career-technical center. It ranks fourth largest in the state with a student population of over 12,000. The district has an annual operating budget of approximately $125 million and a workforce of over 1,500 administrators, teachers and service personnel.

We are grateful to parents, employees and the business community for their immeasurable support toward our success. The citizens of Raleigh County have a true commitment to public education. They have faithfully supported excess tax levies and bond issues to generate millions of dollars for operating costs, renovations to existing buildings and construction of new schools.

Raleigh County schools are focused on tailoring curriculum and instruction to meet the needs of all students. Our schools have earned state and national recognition for meeting and maintaining rigorous standards. Eleven county schools hold the distinction of West Virginia Schools of Excellence; two are past National Title I Schools and one is a No Child Left Behind National Blue Ribbon School.

We hope the information provided on the website will be useful and will give you an overview of our school district. If you would like additional information please feel free to contact us.



TEACHERS

They help us to strengthen our voices, bodies and minds.

They help us express our feelings and control them sometimes.

They help us explore what's near and venture afar,

But most important to love who we are.
