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's schools generally perform below the state average in proficiency rates for mathematics, English language arts, and science, with the high school's proficiency rates ranging from 14.8% to 41.8% compared to the state averages of 21.5% to 49.9%.
Among the elementary schools, Big Otter Elementary School stands out with the highest student-teacher ratio (15.1) and the highest state-wide ranking (144th out of 368) in the district. In contrast, Lizemore Elementary School has the lowest student-teacher ratio (10.6) but the lowest state-wide ranking (283rd out of 368) in the district. The district's schools also have a very homogeneous student population, with over 96% of students being white.
The data suggests that the district could benefit from a closer examination of factors contributing to the performance disparities between schools, as well as potential staffing and demographic challenges. The declining state-wide rankings for several schools, such as Clay Middle School and H E White Elementary School, indicate a need for improvement in the district's educational outcomes.
