Summary

Frametown Elementary School is a small, rural public school in Frametown, WV, serving 146 students in grades PK-5 within the Braxton County Schools district. This school has become a standout success story, earning a 4-star rating and climbing from a rank of 222nd to 97th in the state over just two years—a remarkable turnaround that places it in the top 27% of elementary schools statewide.

What truly sets Frametown apart is its exceptional academic performance, which far exceeds both district and state averages. In math, 54.6% of students are proficient compared to the district's 32.3%, and in English Language Arts, the school matches its math score at 54.6% versus the district's 41.2%. Science is a particular strength, with 56.3% proficiency—a dramatic jump from just 17.4% two years ago. The school's 4th-grade cohort shines brightest, with 72.2% proficiency in ELA and 66.7% in math, both well above state averages. Perhaps most impressive is the school's effectiveness with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking 45th out of 314 schools statewide for this subgroup—a huge improvement from 147th just two years prior. This demonstrates that Frametown is successfully closing achievement gaps and providing strong outcomes for all its students.

Within its district, Frametown is the clear leader, outperforming Sutton Elementary, Davis Elementary, Flatwoods Elementary, and Burnsville Elementary in both math and ELA. While it doesn't quite match the 5-star Big Otter Elementary in neighboring Clay County, it is the closest competitor in the region. This success is especially notable given the school's higher student-teacher ratio of 14.6 compared to peers like Little Birch Elementary (8.7), proving that Frametown's achievements stem from effective instruction and targeted interventions rather than smaller class sizes. While 3rd-grade performance shows room for growth, the overall trajectory is overwhelmingly positive, making Frametown a model of effective, equitable education in rural West Virginia.
