Summary:
The city of Griffithsville, West Virginia has only one school, Duval Pk-8, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 319 students. The school is part of the Lincoln County Schools district, which is ranked 47 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Duval Pk-8 consistently performs below the Lincoln County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in both mathematics and English language arts assessments across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in mathematics ranged from 0% (3rd grade) to 35.1% (5th grade) at Duval Pk-8, compared to 35.3% to 42% for the district and 50.3% to 53% for the state. The school's performance in science assessments is also significantly lower than the district and state averages.
Despite the school's higher spending per student of $12,477 for the 2018-2019 school year, which is above the state average, the consistently low academic performance suggests that the resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to support student learning. The data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to improve the academic outcomes at Duval Pk-8, and a deeper understanding of the school's context, such as the socioeconomic factors influencing the student population, could provide valuable insights into the challenges faced by the school and its community.
