-
This fifth annual edition of the Kids Count report investigates county and statewide trends in the well-being of West Virginia's children between 1980 and 1994, focusing on child poverty and low school achievement, and profiles three exemplary schools serving large numbers of low-income students. The statistical report is based on 18 indicators of child well-being: (1) student attendance; (2) percent of high school dropouts; (3) percent of high school graduates; (4) pupil to teacher ratio; (5) teacher/administrator experience; (6) percent of births to mothers with less than a twelfth grade education; (7) percent of children approved for free/reduced school meals; (8) employment to population ratio; (9) the unemployment rate; (10) percent low birth-weight babies; (11) infant mortality rate; (12) child death rate; (13) child abuse/neglect rate; (14) teen birth rate; (15) percent births to unmarried teens; (16) juvenile delinquency case rate; (17) teen violent death rate; and (18) percent of eligible children served by Head Start. Findings indicate that almost all counties meet or exceed the required standard of 93 percent school attendance rate; child poverty averages 47 percent statewide; 50 percent of adults are employed (the nation's lowest percentage); and the unemployment rate is about 9 percent. There have been increases in the percent of low birth-weight babies, the child abuse/neglect rate, and the percent of births to unmarried teens. There have been decreases in infant mortality rate, child death rate, percent approved for free/reduced school meals, teen birth rate, high school dropout rate, juvenile delinquency case rate, and teen violent death rate. Appendices provide definitions, methodology, and data sources. (KDFB)
