Summary

Lewisburg Elementary is a mid-sized school in Lewisburg, WV, serving 421 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Greenbrier County Schools district. While the school has a strong history of high achievement—earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the 74th–84th percentile statewide from 2015 to 2021—it has experienced a notable decline in recent years, dropping to a 2-star rating and the 45th percentile in the 2025-2026 school year.

One of the most striking patterns at Lewisburg Elementary is a significant gender gap in performance. In the most recent school year, male students ranked in the 60th percentile (3 stars), while female students ranked in the 22nd percentile (1 star)—a 38-percentile-point difference. This is a dramatic shift, as female students had ranked in the 58th percentile just two years prior. The school also shows a clear "5th grade slump": while 3rd graders excel in math (63.6% proficient vs. 54.4% statewide), proficiency drops to 47.8% in 4th grade and plummets to 31.9% in 5th grade—the lowest among nearby Greenbrier County schools. A similar, though less severe, pattern appears in English Language Arts.

Compared to its neighbors, Lewisburg's recent struggles appear school-specific rather than district-wide. Nearby Rupert Elementary improved from the 33rd to the 77th percentile over the same period, and Smoot Elementary now ranks in the 65th percentile. Lewisburg's math proficiency (48.5%) trails Rupert (57.6%) and Smoot (65.1%), and its ELA proficiency (45.6%) is also below several peers. On a positive note, the school shows a unique strength in 5th-grade science, historically outperforming the state average by significant margins. However, Lewisburg also has the lowest per-student spending ($11,377) among nearby schools—compared to $15,057 at Frankford Elementary—raising questions about resource allocation as the school works to reverse its recent decline.
