Summary:
The city of Verdunville, West Virginia, has only one public school serving grades PK-4: Verdunville Elementary School. This small school, with an enrollment of 110 students, is part of the Logan County Schools district, which is ranked 45 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Verdunville Elementary School's academic performance has been a concern, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 170 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024 (3-star rating) to 328 out of 355 in 2024-2025 (0-star rating). The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts have consistently lagged behind the Logan County Schools district and the state of West Virginia, suggesting that Verdunville Elementary is underperforming compared to its peers. For example, in 4th grade Mathematics, the school had a 30% proficiency rate, while the district and state averages were 48.7% and 50.3%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $15,743 in 2018-2019, the academic outcomes have not improved. The small size of the school, with a student-teacher ratio of 10.4 to 1, may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of providing personalized attention and resources to students. Overall, the data suggests that Verdunville Elementary School is facing significant challenges in improving its academic performance and statewide ranking, and further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes and identify strategies for improvement.
