Summary

White Sulphur Elementary is a public elementary school serving 324 students in grades PK-5 in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, which is part of the Greenbrier County Schools district. While the district is ranked 24 out of 55 in the state, White Sulphur Elementary has seen a steady decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from 57th out of 408 West Virginia elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 272nd out of 355 in 2024-2025, with a 1-star rating.

Academically, White Sulphur Elementary's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment, is generally below the state and district averages across grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 40.9%, compared to 51.2% for the Greenbrier County district and 53% statewide. The school's performance is particularly low in English Language Arts, with 3rd grade proficiency rates ranging from 19.6% to 32.56% over the past few years, compared to the state average of around 40%. In contrast, the nearby Frankford Elementary consistently outperforms the state and district averages in both math and ELA across grade levels.

While White Sulphur Elementary has a relatively high per-student spending of $12,420, which is higher than the nearby Lewisburg Elementary ($11,377) and Ronceverte Elementary ($13,135), the school's student-teacher ratio of around 13:1 is higher than the ratios at Frankford Elementary (11.9:1) and Alderson Elementary (10.5:1), suggesting that the additional funding may not be translating into smaller class sizes.
