Elementary Schools in Boone County Schools

Summary:

The Boone County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 7 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with Sherman Elementary School standing out as the top-performing school in the district.

Sherman Elementary is a standout, ranking 11th out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly outperformed the district and state averages on math, English language arts, and science proficiency tests, with an impressive 95.5% of 5th graders proficient or better in English language arts. Other high-performing schools include Ashford-Rumble Elementary, which ranked 84th in the state, and Ramage Elementary, which improved its ranking from 270th to 150th over the past two years.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps within the Boone County Schools district, with several schools struggling to meet state averages on proficiency tests. The relationship between spending per student and academic performance is also unclear, as the school with the highest spending, Whitesville Elementary, had the lowest test scores and state ranking. Overall, the data highlights the need for the district to address these performance gaps and identify strategies to support student success across all of its elementary schools.
