Summary

Davis Creek Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Barboursville, WV, serving 235 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Cabell County Schools district, which ranks among the top districts in the state.

Davis Creek has a solid overall academic record—its math and English language arts proficiency rates are above state and district averages—but the school's most recent data reveals two significant patterns that parents should know about. First, there is a striking gender gap in performance. While male students rank in the 92nd percentile statewide (earning a 5-star rating), female students rank in just the 27th percentile (a 1-star rating), a dramatic 65-percentile-point difference. This gap has widened sharply in the past year, suggesting that instructional approaches or school climate may be disproportionately affecting girls. Second, the school experiences a notable 5th-grade slump. Math proficiency drops from 73% in 4th grade to just 34% in 5th grade, and science proficiency falls to 31%—below both district and state averages. This pattern is not seen as severely at nearby schools like Nichols Elementary School, where 5th-grade English scores actually rise.

Compared to its immediate neighbors, Davis Creek sits in the middle-to-lower tier. Schools like Hite Saunders Elementary School, Village of Barboursville Elementary School, Meadows Elementary School, and Martha Elementary School all outperform Davis Creek in overall rankings, despite the school being in a strong district. On a positive note, Davis Creek has shown strength in serving its special education students, ranking in the 70th–90th percentile in recent years. For parents, the key takeaway is that Davis Creek has clear strengths—particularly for boys and special education students—but the school faces urgent challenges in supporting its female students and ensuring 5th graders don't lose academic ground before moving to middle school.
