Summary:
The city of Whitesville, West Virginia has only one public school, Whitesville Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Boone County Schools district.
Based on the available data, Whitesville Elementary School does not appear to be a standout performer in the state. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent school year. The school's test scores in mathematics, English language arts, and science are generally below the Boone County and state averages, with only 9.1% of 5th-grade students proficient or better in mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 44% for Boone County and 42% for the state.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively high spending per student of $14,648 in the 2018-2019 school year, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3 to 1, suggesting smaller class sizes. However, the lack of data on free and reduced lunch rates, combined with the school's small size and low performance, may indicate that it is serving a high-need population that is not receiving the resources and support it needs to succeed academically.
