Summary

Ravenswood Grade School is a public elementary school in Ravenswood, WV, serving 216 students in grades 3 through 5 as part of the top-ranked Jackson County Schools district.

This school stands out for its exceptional support of students who often need the most help. In the 2023-2024 school year, Ravenswood Grade School ranked in the 91st percentile statewide for Special Education Students and the 77th percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds—both significantly higher than its overall school ranking. The school also maintains a favorable 12:1 student-to-teacher ratio, which is better than most comparable schools. One area of concern is a persistent gender gap: female students consistently outperform male students by a noticeable margin, with girls ranking in the 70th percentile and boys in the 61st percentile for the 2025-2026 school year. Additionally, 3rd-grade math is the school's weakest subject, with only 45.6% proficiency compared to the district average of 65.3%, suggesting a need for earlier math intervention.

There are some bright spots worth noting. The school has shown remarkable growth in 5th-grade science, climbing from 33.7% proficiency in 2022-2023 to 48.3% in 2025-2026, now surpassing both district and state averages. Fifth-grade English Language Arts is also a standout at 71.7% proficiency, well above the state average of 51%. However, Ravenswood Grade School sits in the lower tier of its own high-performing district—nearby schools like Fairplain Elementary School, Evans Elementary School, Cottageville Elementary School, and Gilmore Elementary School all rank in the top 10% statewide. The school also spends the least per student ($11,995) among its district peers, yet still achieves respectable results—suggesting efficient resource use, though additional funding might help close the gap with its higher-performing neighbors.
