Summary:
The city of Quinwood, West Virginia, has only one school, Crichton Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 87 students enrolled. Crichton Elementary is part of the Greenbrier County Schools district, which is ranked 24 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Crichton Elementary does not appear to be a standout school in West Virginia, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 212 out of 355 elementary schools (2024-2025) and 335 out of 368 elementary schools (2023-2024), indicating it is performing below average compared to other elementary schools in the state. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally lower than the Greenbrier County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages. For example, in 2024-2025, Crichton Elementary's 4th grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 60%, compared to 49.5% for the district and 50.3% for the state, and in 2023-2024, its 5th grade Science proficiency rate was 0%, compared to 29.5% for the district and 32.3% for the state.
Despite the relatively high spending per student at Crichton Elementary ($16,804) compared to the national average, and the low student-teacher ratio of 8.4, the school's performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 326 out of 368 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 335 out of 368 in 2023-2024. This suggests that funding and resources may not be the primary issues affecting the school's performance, and further investigation is needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the school's relatively weaker outcomes compared to its peers.
