Summary:
The city of Buckhannon, West Virginia is home to 7 schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Upshur County Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 43 out of 55 in the state and has a 1-star rating, there is significant variation in the performance of individual schools within the district.
The top-performing schools in Buckhannon include Buckhannon Academy Elementary School, which ranks 177 out of 355 elementary schools statewide and has the highest proficiency rates in math and English language arts, and Tennerton Elementary, which also has a relatively high statewide ranking and strong proficiency rates. Meanwhile, B-u Middle School performs better than the district and state averages in many subject areas, particularly in 7th grade math and English language arts.
However, not all schools in Buckhannon are performing at the same level. Schools like Union Elementary School and Hodgesville Elementary struggle, ranking in the bottom 20% of the state. The data suggests that the Upshur County Schools district faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to all of its students, and there may be opportunities for improvement, particularly in increasing math and science proficiency across grade levels.
