Summary:

Mannington, West Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Blackshere Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 327 students. While the Marion County Schools district is ranked 9th out of 55 districts in the state and rated 4 out of 5 stars, Blackshere Elementary has a more modest performance record.

Blackshere Elementary has been ranked between 188-279 out of 355-368 West Virginia elementary schools over the past 3 school years, with a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessments in Math and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades are generally below the Marion County Schools and West Virginia state averages. Additionally, the school's relatively high per-student spending of $14,024 (compared to the state average) may indicate challenges in effectively allocating resources to improve student outcomes.

While Blackshere Elementary is not a standout school, the data suggests there may be room for improvement in student achievement and overall school performance. Identifying and addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance could be a valuable next step in providing a high-quality education for its students.
