Summary

Gilmer County Elementary School in Glenville, WV, serves 300 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Gilmer County Schools district, which holds a 3-star rating and ranks in the upper half of West Virginia districts.

This school stands out most for its exceptional support of special education students. In the most recent school year, Gilmer County Elementary jumped to the 73rd percentile statewide for special education performance—a dramatic improvement from the previous year and a clear sign of a highly effective program. The school also excels in mathematics, with 47.1% of students proficient, well above both the district (37.7%) and state (39.4%) averages. A notably low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 means your child is likely to receive more individualized attention here than at many nearby schools. The school spends about $12,991 per student, which is higher than most neighboring elementary schools, reinforcing a strong commitment to student resources.

Compared to nearby schools, Gilmer County Elementary sits in a solid mid-tier position. It outperforms struggling neighbors like Burnsville Elementary, Flatwoods Elementary, and Leading Creek Elementary, which all rank in the bottom quarter of the state. However, Sutton Elementary consistently earns 4-5 star ratings with notably higher math (56.9%) and ELA (55.6%) proficiency, and Smithville Elementary is a top-ranked school in the state. One area for growth is 5th-grade science, where proficiency (31.4%) trails the state average (34.6%). While math is a clear strength, ELA performance (46%) closely mirrors the district average, suggesting room for improvement in reading and writing.
