Summary

Jane Lew Elementary School in Jane Lew, WV, serves 271 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Lewis County Schools district.

Jane Lew Elementary is showing a remarkable turnaround. After ranking in the 27th percentile just a year ago, the school now ranks in the 55th percentile statewide and has earned a 3-star rating. This improvement is broad-based, with gains seen across nearly every student group. Most notably, students from low socio-economic backgrounds now rank in the 70th percentile statewide—a standout achievement that suggests the school is especially effective at supporting students who often face the greatest challenges. The school's biggest academic strength is mathematics, where 53.2% of students are proficient—nearly double the district average of 28.7% and well above the state average of 39.4%. This math advantage holds across all grade levels. In English Language Arts, the school's overall proficiency of 50% is above the district average, though there is a notable gap in 3rd grade (35% proficient) that jumps to 64% by 5th grade, indicating literacy skills develop strongly in the upper elementary years.

Compared to its immediate district peer, Peterson-Central Elementary School, Jane Lew outperforms it in every subject and grade level tested—for example, 57.8% of Jane Lew 4th graders are proficient in math versus 22.4% at Peterson-Central. Nearby Lost Creek Elementary School in Harrison County Schools has consistently ranked in the 72nd-79th percentile and spends more per student, but Jane Lew's recent success with its low-income students shows it is achieving strong results with its current resources. The school's trajectory is promising, with a clear focus on lifting all students and closing achievement gaps.
