Summary

Victory Elementary School in Clarksburg, WV, is a mid-sized elementary school serving 320 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Harrison County Schools district. The school has a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 9.4:1, which is much lower than nearby schools like Johnson Elementary (17.7:1) or Simpson Elementary (17.3:1), meaning your child is likely to get more individual attention.

The most striking thing about Victory Elementary is the big gap between its math and reading scores. In math, the school is actually a standout—49.2% of students are proficient, which beats both the district (40%) and state (39.4%) averages. Fifth grade math is especially strong at 52.3% proficiency, and scores improve steadily from 3rd to 5th grade. However, English Language Arts (reading) tells a very different story. Only 32.6% of students are proficient, which is 16.6 percentage points below the district average and the largest math-reading gap among all nearby schools. This is the second-lowest reading score in the area, ahead of only Lumberport Elementary (29.1%). There's also a concerning "4th grade dip"—reading proficiency drops to 29.3% in 4th grade before recovering to 36.4% in 5th grade, a pattern more pronounced here than at any neighboring school.

There is some encouraging news. The school's Special Education program has improved dramatically, jumping from the bottom 11% of schools to the top 57% in a single year—a 46-percentile-point swing that suggests new strategies are working for those students. While the school's overall ranking has remained low (22nd percentile), the strong math results show the school has the capacity for excellence. The challenge ahead is clear: replicate the successful math instruction in the literacy program, and investigate what's happening in 4th grade reading. For parents, this means Victory Elementary offers solid math foundations and small class sizes, but you may want to pay extra attention to reading support at home, especially as your child approaches 4th grade.
