Summary:
The Clay County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 42 out of 55 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.
The standout school in the district appears to be Big Otter Elementary School, which has consistently ranked among the top 25% of elementary schools in the state with a 4-star rating. Big Otter Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the smaller elementary schools like Lizemore Elementary struggle with very low proficiency rates, particularly in English language arts.
At the high school level, Clay County High School had a 92.5% four-year graduation rate, which is above the state average. However, the school lags behind the state averages in math (10.2% proficient vs. 20.3%), English language arts (39.7% vs. 55.1%), and science (19.4% vs. 27.8%). The district's overall low ranking and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest there is significant room for improvement across the school system.
