There isn’t a reliable public count of how many transgender athletes are in West Virginia school sports. The most specific reporting I found says Becky Pepper-Jackson is the only transgender student identified as seeking to compete in girls’ sports in West Virginia, but that is not the same as a full statewide census.

What is known

  • A recent report says Pepper-Jackson “stands as the sole trans individual seeking to compete in girls’ sports in West Virginia”.
  • The Supreme Court has now upheld West Virginia’s ban on transgender athletes in girls’ and women’s sports.
  • Because schools do not publish a standard statewide tally of transgender athletes, any exact number would be hard to verify from public records alone.

Practical reading

If you mean “how many are publicly known or reported,” the answer appears to be at least one, and likely very few based on current coverage.

If you mean “how many exist in total across all West Virginia school sports,” there is no verified public statewide count in the reporting I found.

TL;DR

  • Verified public count: no official statewide number found.
  • Most cited individual case: one, Becky Pepper-Jackson.
  • Current legal context: West Virginia’s ban has been upheld by the Supreme Court.
