Summary:
The city of Belle, West Virginia is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Belle Elementary School, Du Pont Middle School, and Riverside High School. These schools are part of the Kanawha County Schools district.
Based on the data, Belle Elementary School appears to be the standout performer, with strong proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts that often exceed district and state averages. In contrast, Riverside High School and Du Pont Middle School have struggled, with low proficiency rates and rankings compared to their peers.
While Riverside High School maintains a respectable 92.5% four-year graduation rate, its proficiency rates in Math, English, and Science are alarmingly low. Similarly, Du Pont Middle School lags behind in core subject areas. The data suggests an imbalance in resource allocation, with higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at the middle and elementary schools compared to the high school. Addressing these disparities and focusing on early intervention could be key priorities for the district moving forward.
