Summary

Ramage Elementary is a small school in Danville, WV, serving 196 students in grades PK-5 as part of Boone County Schools. The school has seen dramatic swings in performance over the years, and the most recent data shows a significant drop that parents will want to understand.

The biggest concern is reading. In the latest school year, only 28.1% of Ramage students were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 43.6% for the district and 47.6% statewide. The 3rd grade is especially troubling—just 14.3% of 3rd graders are reading at grade level, which is a 30-point gap from the state average. This is the lowest 3rd grade reading score among nearby schools and signals a foundational literacy challenge. Math is a relative bright spot: 42.2% of students are proficient, which actually beats the district average of 31.2% and comes close to the state average. Science scores are also very low, with only 11.8% of 5th graders proficient compared to 34.6% statewide. On a positive note, the school has shown exceptional results with special education students, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide in a recent year, and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of about 10:1.

It's helpful to compare Ramage to Sherman Elementary, another Boone County school just 15 miles away. Sherman is rated 5 stars with 76.2% ELA proficiency and 65.7% math proficiency, while Ramage sits at 1 star. Both schools serve similar communities with comparable funding, which makes the gap striking. Ramage's performance has been volatile—it jumped from the 27th percentile to the 59th percentile in recent years, then fell to the 12th percentile. This instability, combined with the 3rd grade reading crisis, suggests the school has the resources and staffing to succeed but needs a consistent, focused approach to early literacy to turn things around.
