Jefferson County Schools
Posted: March 26th, 2004
Charleston, W.VA. - Ten West Virginia School Systems were recently honored with the 2004 What Parents Want Award, presented by SchoolMatch, an independent nationwide service that helps corporate employee families find schools that match the needs of their children.
Schools in Brooke, Cabell, Harrison, Jefferson, Kanawha, Marion, Monongalia, Ohio, Putnam and Wood counties were recognized for meeting the needs of families relocating in West Virginia. Only 16 percent of the nation’s 15,573 public school districts have earned this award.
The counties were selected for their academic test scores as well as being recognized for excellence by a national foundation or by the U.S. Department of Education. They were also noted for their above average library/media services and instructional expenditures on a national percentile basis.
“West Virginia constantly strives to provide the best education to all of its citizens,” said State Schools Superintendent David Stewart. “Education and economic development go hand and glove. Many large businesses and potential employees look to the school system when deciding to relocate. We are honored to have our county’s system recognized for the commitment to excellence.”
More than seven million parents accessed SchoolMatch services through a variety of website locations, including national, regional and local real estate firms, chambers of commerce, economic development offices and other family oriented sites.

Interest Rates >Affordable Home Loans A whole new crop of homebuyers emerges every year. With interest rates remaining relatively low, more interested buyers than ever before are applying for home mortgage loans. Affordable loan packages are creating more investment possibilities for second homes. Trade-up or scale-down buyers are free to move into an exciting new home or condo, making more starter homes available for first-time buyers.
The advantage goes to the seller when there are more buyers than homes for sale. But in a market where the inventory of homes is growing, the competition between sellers increases and gives buyers more options. More competition is not a problem if the local market is moving at a lively pace.
Affordable loans and a wide variety of financing options make it an excellent time to buy or sell real estate.
