Summary

New Creek Primary School is an elementary school in New Creek, West Virginia, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 97 students. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its ranking among West Virginia elementary schools ranging from 10th to 286th in recent years. While the school has performed particularly well for female students, ranking 2nd out of 339 elementary schools in the state, its overall test scores in mathematics and English language arts have been generally below the state and district averages.

New Creek Primary School's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the nearby schools in the Mineral County Schools district, such as Fort Ashby Primary School, Frankfort Intermediate School, and Elk Garden School. However, it performs better than the larger Keyser Primary School, which has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in the state. The school's proximity to the higher-performing Burlington Primary School presents opportunities for collaboration and shared best practices.

New Creek Primary School's fluctuating ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger, ranging from a high of 5 stars to a low of 1 star in recent years, is an area of concern that warrants further investigation. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 12.4 in recent years, is a positive factor, but the district's overall low ranking and the school's mixed academic performance are areas that require attention.
