Summary

Lost Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 113 students in grades PK-5 in Lost Creek, West Virginia. The school is part of the Harrison County Schools district, which is ranked 19 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lost Creek Elementary has seen fluctuating performance in its statewide ranking, ranging from 81st out of 355 schools in 2024-2025 (4-star rating) to 331st out of 375 schools in 2021-2022 (1-star rating). Compared to nearby schools in the Harrison County district, such as Johnson Elementary and Simpson Elementary, which consistently rank in the top 100 schools in the state and maintain 4-star ratings, Lost Creek Elementary has generally performed worse.

The school has shown mixed results in student proficiency on state assessments, with some grades and subjects performing better than others. While 4th and 5th-grade students at Lost Creek outperformed the Harrison County and state averages in mathematics, 3rd-grade students struggled in both mathematics and English Language Arts, scoring below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance in science for 5th-grade students has been consistently lower than the district and state. These inconsistencies and areas for improvement suggest opportunities for the school to enhance its academic performance and provide a more equitable education for all its students.
