Summary

Cox Landing Elementary School in Lesage, WV, is a small school serving 206 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the highly-ranked Cabell County Schools district.

Cox Landing is a true turnaround story. After ranking in the bottom half of West Virginia schools in the early 2020s, the school has climbed dramatically to its current position of 81st out of 355 schools statewide, earning a 4-star rating. This represents a jump of 192 places over five years. What makes this even more impressive is how the school achieves these results. Cox Landing ranks in the 87th percentile for its work with students from low socio-economic backgrounds—even better than its overall ranking—and in the 2023-2024 school year, its Special Education program ranked 4th out of 183 schools statewide with a perfect 5-star rating. The school also shines in science, with 72% of 5th graders proficient, far exceeding the state average of 34.6%. All of this is accomplished while spending less per student ($12,351) than several lower-performing neighboring schools, suggesting efficient use of resources.

Compared to nearby schools, Cox Landing sits in the middle-to-upper tier. It outperforms Explorer Academy (190th), Highlawn Elementary (273rd), and Guyandotte Elementary (311th), while trailing standout schools like Hite Saunders Elementary (10th) and Village of Barboursville Elementary (44th). Its profile is most similar to Martha Elementary (67th) and Davis Creek Elementary (108th). One area to watch: 4th grade proficiency in math (38.7%) and ELA (45.2%) lags behind district averages, while 5th grade performance is exceptional. For parents, Cox Landing offers a compelling combination of strong overall academics, a proven commitment to supporting all learners, and a clear upward trajectory.
