Three Chesterfield County high schools were recently honored as W!se Blue Star Schools: Cosby High, Midlothian High and Monacan High. Schools earn this national recognition by achieving an 80% passing rate on the W!se financial literacy certification test and having either a majority of students on a given grade level receive personal finance instruction or at least 10% of all students take the test.
In addition, almost 30 Chesterfield County Public Schools teachers were named W!se Gold Star Teachers. For a teacher to earn this national recognition, at least one of the teacher’s classes must have achieved a 93% passing rate on the W!se financial literacy certification test in the 2023-24 school year.
