Historically, students with disabilities graduate from high school at lower rates than peers without disabilities. As a result, many students with disabilities also have poor postsecondary or adult outcomes, such as unemployment or employment in lowpaying jobs. This state spotlight presents strategies the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) is using to increase school and local education agency (LEA) access to and awareness of data to make decisions to improve the graduation rate for students with disabilities. [This resource was developed by members of the NCSI Data Use Service Area Team in collaboration with Patricia Homberg, Susan Beck, Debra Harless, and Amber Stohr.]
