Summary:
The Calhoun County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 3 schools, including 2 elementary schools and 1 middle/high school. The data reveals a mix of high-performing and struggling schools, with notable racial homogeneity and variations in per-student spending across the district.
The two elementary schools, Pleasant Hill School and Arnoldsburg School, both outperformed the district and state averages in mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency for grades 3 and 4. Pleasant Hill School ranked 122 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and had the highest mathematics proficiency rate among the 3 schools, while Arnoldsburg School ranked 112 and had the highest English Language Arts proficiency rate.
In contrast, Calhoun Middle/High School struggled, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages in mathematics, English Language Arts, and science. This performance gap between the elementary and secondary levels suggests a need to examine the factors contributing to the disparity. Additionally, all three schools in the Calhoun County Schools district have a very high percentage of white students, ranging from 96.02% to 98.78%, which may warrant further investigation into the factors behind this lack of racial diversity.
