Summary:

The Lincoln County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 47 out of 55 districts in the state and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Among the schools, Harts Pk-8 stands out as the highest-performing, ranked 156 out of 355 elementary schools and rated 3 out of 5 stars. It has strong performance on state assessments, with high proficiency rates in math and English language arts. Midway Elementary School is also a high performer, ranked 203 out of 355 elementary schools and rated 2 out of 5 stars, with particularly strong math and English language arts proficiency in 3rd and 4th grades. In contrast, Lincoln County High School has a relatively low performance on state assessments, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in math, English language arts, and science, despite a strong 92.5% four-year graduation rate.

The data reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools in the district, suggesting opportunities to learn from the practices of the higher-performing schools and implement them across the district. However, the overall low ranking and 1-star rating of the Lincoln County Schools district indicates that the district as a whole is facing significant challenges that will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to address.
