Summary:

The Taylor County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals significant variability in school performance within the district, with West Taylor Elementary School standing out as a high-performing school, while Anna Jarvis Elementary School appears to be a lower-performing outlier.

At the high school level, Grafton High School had a strong 92.5% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, exceeding the state average. However, the district's 11th-grade students scored below the state average in math, with only 18.1% proficient or better in 2024-2025. The middle school, Taylor County Middle School, also struggled with math proficiency, with rates ranging from 22.4% to 32.5% across grades 5-8, below the state averages.

The data also reveals a concerning trend of declining student performance as they progress from elementary to middle school, suggesting an area of focus for the district to understand the underlying causes and implement interventions to support student learning. Additionally, the absence of free/reduced lunch rate data for individual schools is a notable gap, as this metric can provide valuable context for interpreting school performance data.
