Summary:
The city of Brenton, West Virginia has only one school, Baileysville Elementary & Middle School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. Based on the available data, this school does not appear to be a standout performer, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools in recent years and struggles with academic performance in certain subject areas.
Baileysville Elementary & Middle School has an enrollment of 276 students and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12:1. However, the school's statewide ranking has been consistently low, placing 269th out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating out of 5. The school's test scores are also a concern, with mathematics proficiency rates below state and district averages across all grade levels, and mixed results in English Language Arts and science proficiency.
While the school's spending per student of $12,615 (2018-2019 school year) and small class sizes could be positive factors, they do not appear to be translating into stronger academic outcomes for students. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and community factors may be necessary to identify opportunities for improvement and better support the educational needs of Brenton's students.
