Summary

Evans Elementary School is a small, rural school in Evans, WV, serving 147 students in grades PK-5 as part of the top-ranked Jackson County Schools district. With a favorable 13.6:1 student-teacher ratio, this tight-knit school has a remarkable history of academic excellence, having ranked #1 in the entire state for three consecutive years (2016-2019). While it has settled into the "merely excellent" category—currently ranked #33 statewide (91st percentile)—it remains a powerhouse in core subjects.

The school's standout strength is mathematics, where 83.1% of students scored proficient in the latest testing year—a staggering 43.7 percentage points above the state average. Early grades are particularly strong, with 90% proficiency in 3rd grade math. English Language Arts is equally impressive at 78% proficiency, showing a clear upward trajectory from 65% in 3rd grade to 87.5% in 5th grade. These results place Evans well ahead of district peers like Kenna Elementary School and Ravenswood Grade School, though it now trails district leaders Fairplain Elementary School (86.2% math) and Gilmore Elementary School (69.6% science).

However, parents should be aware of two concerns. First, 5th-grade science proficiency has plummeted from 47.8% to just 25% over three years—now below both district (46%) and state (34.6%) averages, and far behind Cottageville Elementary School's 45.8%. Second, there's a notable "5th-grade math dip" (68.8% vs. 90% in 3rd grade). The school also shows a decline in support for low-income students, dropping from a #1 state ranking to the 70th percentile. Despite these challenges, Evans spends a robust $13,018 per student and continues delivering elite results in reading and math—making it an excellent choice for families prioritizing foundational skills, with room for improvement in science.
