Summary

Jayenne Elementary School is a PK-4 school in Fairmont, WV, serving 310 students as part of Marion County Schools. The school has a long history of strong academic performance, but the most recent data shows a significant shift that parents will want to understand.

Jayenne's biggest story is its recent decline. After ranking in the top quartile of West Virginia elementary schools for years—including an 11th-place finish statewide in 2021-2022—the school dropped to 119th out of 355 schools (66th percentile) in the latest rankings. This 77-position fall is the largest single-year decline among nearby schools. The drop appears concentrated in two areas: 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency fell to 34.5%, which is 10 points below both the district and state averages, and female student performance declined dramatically after two strong years. Meanwhile, male students continue to perform well (80th percentile), and special education students are a standout strength, ranking 17th statewide (89th percentile). The school also maintains a favorable 13.4:1 student-teacher ratio and spends less per student ($12,016) than any comparable school in the district.

Context from neighboring schools helps frame Jayenne's situation. Pleasant Valley Elementary and White Hall Elementary both rank in the top 20 statewide, while Watson Elementary sits near the bottom (6th percentile). Jayenne now falls in the middle of this local spectrum. The school's 4th graders significantly outperform its 3rd graders—a 32.8-point gap in ELA—suggesting either an exceptionally strong current 4th-grade cohort or challenges with the current 3rd-grade class, possibly related to pandemic-era disruptions. Historically, Jayenne has shown the ability to rebound from dips, and its resource efficiency and special education success provide a foundation to build on. However, the school now trails its district's overall standing, suggesting targeted support may be needed to return to its former level.
