However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment, is significantly below the state and Jefferson County Schools District averages in both mathematics and English language arts across grades 3-5. The school's science proficiency rate in grade 5 is also well below the state average.
Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, which is the second-best among the 9 elementary schools in the Jefferson County Schools District, Ranson Elementary School has consistently received a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a need for significant improvement in academic achievement across all subject areas. The school's diverse student population and efficient resource allocation highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to address the underlying factors contributing to the school's poor performance and ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
