Summary:
Beverly, West Virginia, is served by a single public school, Beverly Elementary School, which educates students in grades PK through 5 within the Randolph County Schools district.
For parents, the most important takeaway is that Beverly Elementary is currently a low-performing school compared to both its district and the state. In the 2025-2026 school year, it ranked 349th out of 355 schools in West Virginia, placing it in the bottom 2nd percentile. This is a slight improvement from the previous year when it ranked dead last. Academically, proficiency rates are concerning: only 18.2% of students are proficient in Mathematics and 25.8% in English Language Arts, both far below the district and state averages. The school does show one notable bright spot in 5th-grade Science, where 29.4% of students are proficient—actually higher than the district average of 26.9%. This represents a massive year-over-year improvement from just 12.9% the prior year. In ELA, there is also a positive trend as students advance, with proficiency rising from 25% in 3rd grade to 35.3% in 5th grade, though still trailing state benchmarks.
Despite spending a substantial $11,235 per student and maintaining a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.8, the academic outcomes remain among the lowest in the state. This suggests the challenges are not simply about resources but may involve deeper instructional or socioeconomic factors. The most pressing concern is Mathematics, where the gap with the state is stark—for example, only 14.3% of 4th graders are proficient compared to 49.2% statewide. While the school is showing small signs of improvement, particularly in Science and upper-grade ELA, parents should be aware that significant work remains to bring Beverly Elementary up to the performance levels of other schools in West Virginia.
