Summary:

The city of Oak Hill, West Virginia is home to two elementary schools: New River Primary and New River Intermediate. These schools serve students from kindergarten through 5th grade and are part of the Fayette County Schools district.

Of the two schools, New River Intermediate has shown the most improvement, moving up in the statewide rankings from 264th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 193rd out of 355 in 2024-2025. Additionally, New River Intermediate outperforms the Fayette County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in several subject areas and grade levels, particularly in 5th-grade English Language Arts and 3rd-grade Mathematics.

While both schools have room for improvement, as their test score proficiency rates are generally below the state averages, especially in Mathematics, the data suggests that New River Intermediate is the stronger-performing of the two elementary schools in Oak Hill. However, the Fayette County Schools district as a whole is ranked 44th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating that the district may be underperforming compared to other districts in the state.
