Summary:
The Gilmer County Schools district in West Virginia is home to two schools: Gilmer County High School and Gilmer County Elementary School. While both schools have a predominantly white student population, they exhibit distinct strengths and areas for improvement.
Gilmer County High School stands out with its strong performance in science proficiency, ranking 39th out of 112 West Virginia high schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.8 suggests a more personalized learning environment. However, its mathematics proficiency rates in grades 6-8 and 11 fall below the state average, indicating a need for improvement in this subject area.
In contrast, Gilmer County Elementary School has shown impressive mathematics performance, with proficiency rates exceeding the state averages in grades 3-5. The school's even lower student-teacher ratio of 10.3 further highlights its focus on individualized learning. Nonetheless, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 302nd out of 380 elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 181st out of 368 in 2022-2023, with a decrease in its SchoolDigger rating from 1 star to 3 stars, indicating a need for further investigation and improvement.
