Summary:

The city of Elkview, West Virginia is home to two elementary schools: Clendenin Elementary School and Pinch Elementary School, both serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. Based on the available data, Pinch Elementary appears to be the stronger-performing school in the area.

Pinch Elementary School has a higher statewide ranking, placing 160th out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Clendenin Elementary's rank of 255. Pinch also consistently outperforms Clendenin, as well as the Kanawha County and state averages, in mathematics and English language arts proficiency across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 71.1% of 4th graders at Pinch Elementary were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 51.5% for Kanawha County and 50.3% for the state.

While the data shows a $1,166 per-student difference in spending between the two schools, with Clendenin spending more, it's unclear how this impacts their performance or other factors. Additionally, the lack of information on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic demographics of the student populations and how that may influence the schools' outcomes. Overall, the available data suggests that Pinch Elementary School is the stronger-performing of the two elementary schools in Elkview, West Virginia.
