Elementary Schools in Monongalia County Schools

Summary:

The Monongalia County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 10 high-performing elementary schools that serve students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence, with several standout institutions leading the way in the state.

Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Cheat Lake Elementary School, which consistently ranks among the top 25 schools in West Virginia, and Ridgedale Elementary School, which also ranks in the top 25 statewide. These schools excel in core academic areas, with Cheat Lake boasting impressive math and English Language Arts scores, and Ridgedale standing out in math and science. Another high-performing school, Suncrest Elementary School, ranks in the top 50 statewide and has exceptional 3rd grade math scores.

While the Monongalia County elementary schools generally outperform the state average, there is some variation in academic achievement between individual schools. The data suggests that higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes may contribute to the stronger performance of the top-ranked schools. However, the district still has room for improvement, particularly at the lower-ranked schools, and targeted interventions could help raise the overall level of academic excellence across the district.
