Weldon City Schools is reporting academic progress across the district for the 2025-26 school year, with all four schools meeting or exceeding expected academic growth and two schools improving their state performance grades.
Weldon High School improved from a D to a C school performance grade while exceeding expected growth, according to information provided by the district.
Weldon Elementary School also exceeded expected growth and moved out of an F school performance grade, improving to a D.
Weldon Middle School remained at a D but met expected academic growth, with the district reporting notable gains in mathematics.
Roanoke Valley Early College maintained its C school performance grade and continued to demonstrate strong results in academic achievement, graduation and college and career readiness, according to the district.
“The progress is meaningful, and it gives us a stronger foundation for the work ahead,” Superintendent Dr. Tammy R. Boone said. “We will continue to celebrate improvements, address challenges openly, and stay focused on ensuring that every student experiences strong instruction, meaningful support, and the opportunity to succeed.”
Weldon City Schools also reported improvements in results from the Teaching Working Conditions Survey.
More than 92% of staff described their school as a good place to work and learn, according to the district. Nearly 94% reported having clear expectations for instruction, while almost 97% said they use data to organize, plan and set goals.
The district has established several goals for the 2026-27 school year, including having every school earn at least a C performance grade and having every school meet or exceed expected academic growth.
Weldon City Schools also plans to emphasize regular data review, intervention, reteaching and problem-solving practices aimed at improving student outcomes.
“While we are proud of the success achieved by every school in the district, we realize that the work must continue consistently and we must remain vigilant about adopting and engaging in instructional practices that will support all students to be successful in teaching and learning,” the district stated.
The district said it will continue working with principals, teachers, staff, families and community partners to build on the gains while focusing on proficiency, graduation, attendance, student culture and preparation for college and careers.
