Summary

Elkins Third Ward Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 299 students in grades PK-5 in Elkins, West Virginia. The school is part of the Randolph County Schools district, which is ranked 55 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Over the past 10 years, Elkins Third Ward Elementary School has consistently underperformed the state and district averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science proficiency across grades 3-5. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency was 34.9% compared to the state average of 53% and the district average of 37.2%. The school's performance is particularly weak in 5th grade math, where proficiency has ranged from 17.8% to 38.1% over the past few years, compared to the state average of 28.1% to 42%. However, the school does perform better in certain student subgroups, such as Asian students, multi-racial students, and English language learners, where it has ranked in the top quartile of West Virginia elementary schools in the past.

Elkins Third Ward Elementary School has a higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and a higher percentage of students with disabilities compared to the state and district averages. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14 to 14.5 students per teacher over the past few years, which is lower than the nearby schools in the Randolph County district. However, the school's per-student spending of $12,165 in 2018-2019 is higher than the state average, and it is unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning.
