Western Beaver County Junior/Senior High School

What Western Beaver County Junior/Senior High School does

Western Beaver County School District is a public K-12 school district operating in the Western Beaver County region of Pennsylvania. It runs two school buildings: Fairview Elementary School (grades K-5) at 343 Ridgemont Drive, Midland, PA, and Western Beaver Jr-Sr High School (grades 6-12) at 216 Engle Road, Industry, PA. The district serves resident students and families across the Industry and Ohioville communities, providing traditional in-person instruction, comprehensive special education and vocational programs, Title I reading intervention, guidance and health services, food services under the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), and athletic and extracurricular programs.

The district's program mix increasingly centers on a 1:1 device model: HP Chromebooks for grades 6-12 ($75 annual service agreement) and Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablets for K-5 ($50 annually), supported by an integrated ed-tech stack including Skyward (SIS), EdInsight, Microsoft 365, Clever single sign-on, Follett Destiny Discover (library catalog), Sora (eBooks), Renaissance (AR/STAR), and Career Cruising. The WB Collaborative Online Academy extends the district's reach statewide, offering full-time, hybrid, and singleton virtual enrollment for grades K-12 via Edgenuity (grades 5-12) and Compass Odyssey (K-5), with instruction delivered by certified Western Beaver and Blackhawk teachers.

As a Pennsylvania government state entity, the district is funded primarily through state aid, federal grants (including ARP-ESSER), and local property taxes. Ancillary revenue streams are modest and include annual technology service agreements ($50-$75 per student), standardized test fees (SAT $68, PSAT $20), and SAT Prep Courses ($40 for six weeks), plus a la carte food sales. Channel partnerships with the Beaver County Career and Technical Center (BCCTC) provide access to 17 vocational programs, and the district operates a Superintendent-led governance structure under an elected Board of School Directors.
