Summary:
The city of New Haven, West Virginia has only one public elementary school, New Haven Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 453 students. The school is part of the Mason County Schools district, which is ranked 50th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
New Haven Elementary School's academic performance has been inconsistent, with proficiency rates in mathematics and science lagging behind state and district averages, while 6th grade students excel in English Language Arts. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, dropping from 168th out of 368 schools in 2023-2024 to 235th out of 355 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school may be underperforming compared to other elementary schools in West Virginia. The low district and school rating indicate there may be systemic challenges within the district that are impacting the quality of education at New Haven Elementary School.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive attributes, such as a student-teacher ratio of 14.1, which is slightly lower than the state average, and spending per student of $11,027, which is higher than the national average but lower than the state average. However, without additional information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, it is difficult to assess any potential equity concerns or the socioeconomic status of the student population.
