My experience at WVA, and why the current administration must go
John stated in front of at least two witnesses that it was because my wife was angry that our then-15-year-old daughter, Ella, was repeatedly getting dress coded by Heidi for dressing “like a slut”. On a related note, before the start of the school year, Heidi told Ella in front of me and my wife…

Who we are, Why we’re afraid, and Why we’re still fighting
John Treu and Heidi Treu do not think you or anyone other than them should have a voice. Should you have the courage to speak up you’ll be told your opinion doesn’t matter or is invalid.

WVA’s lack of transparency
Your leadership abilities come into question with the ongoing poor decisions that impact the school community. It seems evident that the welfare of children is not the primary concern for you, Heidi, and Holly. Those trying to shed light on these issues are doing so out of concern for the children and parents affected by…

Heidi Treu’s Lack of Qualifications

For the one qualification she did meet, other applicants were more qualified, since they also had Master’s degrees in Education. Nonetheless, John hired his own wife.

Welcome to our platform, a space dedicated to fostering transparency, excellence, and accountability at West Virginia’s pioneering charter school, West Virginia Academy. As a collective of current and former parents and staff, we wholeheartedly support the principle of school choice. We believe in the transformative power of education and the unique opportunities that charter schools can offer, and we hope that West Virginia Academy can eventually realize this potential.
However, we find ourselves at a crossroads due to the poor leadership of the school’s current administration: John Treu, Heidi Treu, and Holly Honeycutt. This blog serves as a critical lens, scrutinizing decisions and policies that, in our view, deviate from the school’s core mission of providing exceptional education to our children. We firmly believe that both current and prospective families deserve a candid account of the issues that exist at the school, so they can make informed decisions about their children.
That said, our goal is not merely to criticize, but to advocate for meaningful reform, and to support the school in making the changes that are so desperately needed. Through constructive feedback and open dialogue, we hope to help the school develop an administrative framework that embodies transparency, competence, and a profound commitment to the health and welfare of its students.
Our critique is driven by a firm belief in what West Virginia Academy could and should be. We are dedicated to ensuring that the foundation upon which our state’s first charter school is built is as strong and forward-looking as possible. We invite all stakeholders—administrators, teachers, parents, and the wider community—to join us in this vital conversation. Together, we can envision and work toward a future where the school embodies the ideals of transparency, excellence, and respect for all its members.
Let’s collaborate to create an educational environment that our children deserve. Your insights, experiences, and voices are crucial to this journey. Thank you for joining us in making West Virginia Academy the best it can be.
