Summary:
The city of Reader, West Virginia has only one school, the Short Line School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 367 students. The school is part of the Wetzel County Schools district, which is ranked 49 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The Short Line School's academic performance on the West Virginia Assessment tests is generally below the county and state averages across grade levels and subject areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 17.2% to 67.7% in math, 20% to 45.2% in English Language Arts, and 10% to 23.7% in science. The school's performance has been relatively consistent over the past two school years, with some fluctuations but generally remaining below the county and state averages.
The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $19,449, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 10.3, which is a relatively low ratio. However, the data does not provide the specific free and reduced-price lunch rate for the school, which could provide valuable insights into the socioeconomic factors that may be impacting the school's performance. Overall, the data suggests that the Short Line School is facing challenges in effectively educating its students and meeting academic standards, and further investigation may be needed to understand the underlying issues and how to address them.
