Best Public Schools in Burnsville, WV

Summary:

The city of Burnsville, West Virginia has only one school serving grades PK-5: Burnsville Elementary School. With an enrollment of just 94 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools in recent years, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance.

Burnsville Elementary School's test scores in mathematics, English language arts, and science are generally below the Braxton County Schools and West Virginia state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 4th-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 50%, compared to 45.2% for Braxton County and 50.3% for the state. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was only 14%, significantly lower than the 30.9% for Braxton County and 33.3% for the state.

Despite spending $11,671 per student in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the national average, Burnsville Elementary School's academic performance remains a concern. The school's small size, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.7 to 1, may contribute to the challenges it faces. Additionally, the presence of free and reduced lunch recipients at the school suggests that the student population may face socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic achievement.
