Summary

Smoot Elementary is a public elementary school in Smoot, West Virginia, serving 147 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greenbrier County Schools district, which is ranked 24 out of 55 districts in the state.

Smoot Elementary has consistently outperformed the district and state in mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, with 65% of 3rd graders, 77.3% of 4th graders, and 73.7% of 5th graders meeting proficiency standards in 2024-2025. The school's performance in science, however, lags behind the district and state. Smoot Elementary also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.7 to 14.4 students per teacher over the past three years, which is lower than nearby schools like Hinton Area Elementary and Lewisburg Elementary.

While Smoot Elementary's overall academic performance is strong, there are some disparities in student group performance. The school's female students consistently outperform their male counterparts, and the performance of special education students is an area for improvement. The school's geographic isolation, with the nearest schools 5-19 miles away, may present unique challenges or opportunities in terms of resource sharing and community engagement. Overall, Smoot Elementary appears to be a well-performing school within the Greenbrier County Schools district, with a focus on academic achievement and a commitment to supporting student learning.
