Summary

Ashford-Rumble Elementary is a small, rural school in Ashford, WV, serving 140 students in grades PK-5 within the Boone County Schools district. Despite its district's overall challenges, this school stands out as a local success story, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide and earning a 3-star rating for the 2025-2026 school year.

Academically, Ashford-Rumble consistently outperforms both its district and the state. In math, 49.2% of students are proficient, compared to 31.2% for the district and 39.4% statewide. In English Language Arts, 59% are proficient, versus 43.6% for the district and 47.6% for the state. The school's 3rd grade results are especially impressive, with 73.3% proficiency in ELA—a remarkable 29-point advantage over state averages. This points to strong early literacy instruction. The school also excels at supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, ranking in the 78th percentile for this group, and maintains an excellent 11.6:1 student-teacher ratio, allowing for more individualized attention.

Ashford-Rumble's journey has been one of dramatic improvement. In 2022-2023, it ranked in the bottom 15% of schools; by 2024-2025, it had climbed to the top quartile. While there was a slight dip in the most recent year, the school remains solidly in the upper third statewide. Compared to other schools in Kanawha County Schools, it performs competitively with mid-tier schools like Ruthlawn Elementary School, and it far outpaces Madison Elementary and Brookview Elementary in its own district. However, Sherman Elementary School, just a few miles away, is a 5-star outlier with even higher proficiency rates, suggesting there may be best practices worth exploring there. While the school's spending of $12,434 per student is moderate, it achieves far better results than schools spending significantly more, like Chesapeake Elementary School. Areas to watch include a recent drop in male student performance and some year-to-year volatility in 5th grade science scores, which may be amplified by the small class sizes.
