Elementary Schools in Fayette County Schools

The Fayette County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 7 elementary schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. These schools include Fayetteville Pk-8, New River Intermediate, and Meadow Bridge Elementary, among others.

Within the district, Fayetteville Pk-8 stands out as a high-performing school, with consistent improvement in its statewide ranking and significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts compared to the district and state averages. Similarly, New River Intermediate has also shown steady progress, with a 5th grade English language arts proficiency rate that exceeds the district and state. In contrast, Meadow Bridge Elementary has a relatively high statewide ranking, with a particularly strong 3rd grade math proficiency rate.

Despite these standout schools, the Fayette County Schools district as a whole faces significant challenges, with most schools ranking in the bottom half of the state. The data suggests that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and the district's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch may be a contributing factor to the overall low performance.
