Summary

Doddridge County Elementary School in West Union, WV, serves 331 students in grades 1 through 4 and is part of the highly rated Doddridge County Schools district, which holds a 4-star rating and ranks 12th out of 54 districts in the state.

This school is a standout performer, ranking 66th out of 355 elementary schools in West Virginia (81st percentile) for the 2025-2026 school year. What makes this particularly impressive is the school's dramatic upward trajectory—it has climbed from the 41st percentile in 2020-2021 to its current position, peaking at 27th in the state just last year. Academically, Doddridge County Elementary significantly outperforms both district and state averages: 58.8% of students are proficient in Math (compared to 39.4% statewide) and 61.2% are proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 47.6% statewide). The school also shows strong growth within its own walls, with 4th graders scoring higher than 3rd graders in both subjects. Perhaps most notably, the school excels at supporting students who often face challenges—its Low Socio-Economic Status students ranked 15th out of 328 schools statewide (95th percentile), and its Special Education students ranked 23rd out of 158 schools (85th percentile), a significant improvement from just two years prior.

When compared to nearby schools, Doddridge County Elementary is a clear regional leader. It ranks well above Short Line School (229th), Leading Creek Elementary (288th), West Milford Elementary School (241st), and Creed Collins Elementary (213th). Its closest competitor is Arthur I Boreman Elementary School (ranked 48th), though Doddridge matches or exceeds it in ELA proficiency. The school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4:1 and invests more per student ($18,332) than several nearby schools. One area to watch: the school shows a gender performance gap, with female students ranking in the 89th percentile versus males in the 69th percentile—a gap that has widened recently and may warrant attention.
