Summary

Duval Pk-8 is an elementary school located in Griffithsville, West Virginia, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 319 students. The school is part of the Lincoln County Schools district, which is ranked 47 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duval Pk-8 consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in West Virginia, with rankings between 346-369 out of 375-408 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. When compared to nearby schools like West Hamlin Elementary and Midway Elementary School, as well as schools in other districts such as Hurricane Town Elementary, Brookview Elementary, and Culloden Elementary School, Duval Pk-8 consistently performs significantly worse on state assessments, with proficiency rates that are often 10-30 percentage points lower.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spending $12,477 per student, which is higher than the state average, Duval Pk-8's academic performance has been declining over the years, with the school's rankings dropping from the 257th position out of 408 schools in 2014-2015 to the 347th position out of 355 schools in 2024-2025. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds and the large proportion of special education students may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, but a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, curriculum, and support systems is needed to identify and address the root causes of the persistent underperformance.
