The school is part of the highly-ranked Ohio County Schools district, which is ranked 1 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

West Liberty Elementary School is a high-performing institution, ranking in the top 15% of West Virginia elementary schools for the past 3 years and reaching as high as 48th out of 355 schools in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments consistently exceed the state and district averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas, with 83.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math in 2024-2025 compared to 66.5% for the district and 53% statewide. Additionally, the school maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.1 to 1.

While the school's spending per student of $14,008 (2018-2019) is above the state average, it is unclear how this funding is allocated and whether it is being used effectively to drive student outcomes. The lack of data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate also makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic makeup of the student population and how that may impact performance. Overall, West Liberty Elementary School appears to be a standout institution within the West Liberty and Ohio County school systems, providing an excellent education for its students.
