Summary

Rainelle Elementary is a public elementary school serving 209 students in grades PK-5 in Rainelle, West Virginia. It is part of the Greenbrier County Schools district, which is ranked 24 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Rainelle Elementary has seen a decline in its academic performance over the past few years, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts (ELA) falling below the Greenbrier County and West Virginia state averages across all grade levels. Compared to nearby schools, the school's performance is mixed, as it outperforms some schools like Alderson Elementary and Crichton Elementary, but lags behind stronger performing schools like Panther Creek Elementary, MT Nebo Elementary, and MT Lookout Elementary.

While Rainelle Elementary's special education and low socioeconomic status (SES) student subgroups have performed better, the performance of other student subgroups, such as female, male, and multi-racial students, has been less consistent and declining. The school's higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio suggest it has access to adequate resources, but the effective utilization of these resources may need to be evaluated to address the underlying factors contributing to the declining academic performance.
