Summary

New Haven Elementary School in New Haven, WV, serves 460 students from Pre-K through 6th grade in the small community of Mason County, and has shown remarkable improvement over the past decade, climbing from a 1-star rating to a solid 3-star status.

This school is a standout within Mason County Schools, consistently outperforming district averages by significant margins. In the most recent school year, 45.1% of students were proficient in math (compared to the district's 34.5%) and 53.5% were proficient in English Language Arts (compared to 44.3% district-wide). The 6th grade program is particularly impressive, with 68.4% of students proficient in ELA—more than 20 points above the state average. New Haven also excels at supporting students with special needs, ranking in the 84th percentile statewide in a recent year, and shows strong results for students from low-income backgrounds. All of this is achieved while spending the lowest amount per student ($11,027) among nearby schools, demonstrating efficient use of resources. While it trails the top-performing Roosevelt Elementary School in overall scores, New Haven's 6th graders actually outperform Roosevelt's in both math and reading.

The main area of concern is 5th grade mathematics, where only 16.2% of students scored proficient—a dramatic drop from the 67.4% proficiency seen in 4th grade. This "V-shaped" pattern (strong in 3rd/4th, weak in 5th, strong again in 6th) suggests a possible transition or curriculum alignment issue that the school should investigate. Science proficiency (13.2%) is also below state averages. However, the overall trajectory is highly encouraging: the school has maintained 3-star status in three of the last four years and recently achieved its second-best ranking ever. For parents, this is a school that is clearly moving in the right direction, delivering strong results for a wide range of students despite operating with fewer resources than many of its neighbors.
