Best Public Schools in Bud, WV

Summary:

The city of Bud, West Virginia has only one public school, Herndon Cons Elementary & Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 and has an enrollment of 178 students. The school is part of the Wyoming County Schools district, which is ranked 38 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Herndon Cons Elementary & Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 175th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 323rd out of 355 in 2024-2025. The school's math and English language arts proficiency rates are generally below the Wyoming County and West Virginia state averages across the various grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 31.3% compared to the state average of 53%.

Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $13,970 in the 2018-2019 school year, it appears to be facing performance and academic challenges. With a small enrollment of 178 students and a student-teacher ratio of 9.4 in the 2023-2024 school year, the school may need to explore targeted interventions and improvement efforts to address the declining statewide ranking and underperforming test scores.
