Lewis County Schools

The Lewis County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole underperforms the state averages in academic proficiency, a few standout schools, such as Jane Lew Elementary and Roanoke Elementary, are outperforming their peers within the district.

Jane Lew Elementary and Roanoke Elementary are the two highest-ranked elementary schools in the district, with Jane Lew Elementary ranking 226 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and Roanoke Elementary ranking 227. Both schools have higher than average proficiency rates in 3rd and 4th grade math and English Language Arts compared to the district and state. Additionally, these schools have the lowest student-teacher ratios in the district, with Jane Lew Elementary at 13 and Roanoke Elementary at 12.

While the Lewis County Schools district as a whole struggles to meet state performance standards, the data suggests that increased funding and resources may be a factor in improving student outcomes, as the school with the highest spending per student, Jane Lew Elementary, is also one of the higher-performing schools in the district. Additionally, the lack of diversity in the student population, with white students making up over 90% of the student body, may be a concern and could impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students.
