Summary

New River Intermediate is an elementary school located in Oak Hill, West Virginia, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 536 students. The school is part of the Fayette County Schools district, which is ranked 44 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New River Intermediate's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the West Virginia Assessment, is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 49.7%, compared to the Fayette County Schools average of 50% and the state average of 53%. However, the school's 5th-grade English Language Arts (ELA) performance is relatively stronger, with 56.8% of students proficient or better, compared to 50% for the district and 49.3% for the state. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its African American students performing well but its homeless and disabled student populations struggling.

Compared to nearby schools, New River Intermediate's academic performance is generally lower than the Fayetteville Pk-8 school, which has consistently outperformed the district and state averages. However, New River Intermediate's performance is stronger than some of the other nearby schools, such as Ansted Elementary and Divide Elementary, which have struggled to meet state and district averages. The school's high percentage of low socioeconomic status (SES) students may be a contributing factor to its academic challenges, but the school's performance for its low-SES student subgroup is also below the state and district averages.
