Summary:
The city of Arthurdale, West Virginia is home to a single elementary school, West Preston School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 628 students. The school is part of the Preston County Schools district, which is ranked 35 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
West Preston School's academic performance appears to be consistently below the district and state averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 40.4%, compared to 53% for the district and state. The school's 8th grade math proficiency rate was even lower, at only 13.3%. Additionally, the school had a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as indicated by the school's free/reduced lunch rate for the 2023-2024 school year.
While the limited data set makes it difficult to draw definitive conclusions, the information suggests that West Preston School is facing significant academic challenges that may be exacerbated by socioeconomic factors. The school's per-student spending of $9,131 in the 2018-2019 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2 for the 2023-2024 school year provide some additional context, but more recent financial and staffing data would be needed to fully understand the school's current resources and their potential impact on student outcomes.
