Summary:
The city of West Milford, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, West Milford Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5. The school is part of the Harrison County Schools district, which is ranked 19 out of 55 districts in the state.

In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science were all lower than the district and state averages. Its math proficiency rates ranged from 30.4% to 36.5% across grades 3-5, compared to district averages of 46.2% to 55.6%. The school's English language arts proficiency rates were closer to but still below the district and state averages, ranging from 47.6% to 53.9%.
The school's science proficiency rate for 5th grade, at 47.8%, was higher than the district and state averages, which is a bright spot. However, the school's overall academic performance is a concern, and it has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 149th out of 368 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 191st out of 355 in 2024-2025. Without more context on the school's demographics, funding, and other factors, it's difficult to determine the root causes of the school's academic challenges, but further investigation would be needed to identify potential areas for improvement.
