Best Public Schools in Coalton, WV

Summary:

The city of Coalton, West Virginia has only one school, Coalton Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Coalton Elementary School appears to be a low-performing school, consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of elementary schools in the state.

Coalton Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.7% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 37.2% for the Randolph County Schools district and 53% for the state of West Virginia. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science are also notably lower than the district and state.

While the school's spending per student of $12,006 for the 2018-2019 school year is higher than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio of 14.6 for the 2023-2024 school year is slightly lower than the state average, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students. Without additional data on the school's demographics and specific challenges, it is difficult to pinpoint the root causes of the low performance, but the consistently poor results suggest that Coalton Elementary School may need significant support and resources to improve student achievement.
