Elementary Schools in Raleigh County Schools

Summary:

The Raleigh County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 17 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The district as a whole is ranked 13 out of 55 in the state and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. While the schools vary in size, with student populations ranging from 99 to 540, several stand out as top performers in the region.

Crescent Elementary is ranked 15th out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools and rated 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with consistently high proficiency rates in math and English language arts that significantly outperform the district and state averages. Similarly, Hollywood Elementary is ranked 7th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and rated 5 stars, with exceptional math and English language arts proficiency. Stanaford Elementary School and Maxwell Hill Elementary also stand out as strong performers, ranked 37th and 19th out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools, respectively.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps, with some schools, such as Stratton Elementary and Beckley Elementary, struggling with low proficiency rates, particularly in math and science. Additionally, the analysis suggests that higher per-student spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as evidenced by Marsh Fork Elementary, which has the highest per-student spending but relatively low proficiency rates. The data also highlights the potential importance of student-teacher ratios, with schools like Stanaford Elementary School and Mabscott Elementary demonstrating stronger academic performance alongside lower student-teacher ratios.
