Summary:
The city of Nettie, West Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Panther Creek Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 245 students. The school is part of the Nicholas County Schools district, which is ranked 35 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Panther Creek Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution within the Nicholas County Schools district. The school has consistently ranked in the top quarter of West Virginia elementary schools, placing 90th out of 368 schools in the 2022-2023 school year. Academically, the school outperforms the district and state averages in mathematics and science proficiency, with proficiency rates ranging from 58.3% to 83.9% in mathematics and 38.7% in science for grade 5. In English Language Arts (ELA), the school performs slightly below the district and state averages in grades 3-4, but exceeds them in grade 5 with a 64.5% proficiency rate.
The school's success can be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, as well as its higher per-student spending of $11,775 compared to the state average. However, the school's racial makeup is predominantly white, which may not be representative of the broader diversity within West Virginia. Additionally, the school's lower performance in ELA proficiency in grades 3-4 could be an area for improvement, and further analysis of the school's resource allocation and teaching practices could provide valuable insights for other schools in the district and the state.
