Frankfort Intermediate School

Frankfort Intermediate School is a public elementary school in Fort Ashby, West Virginia, serving 285 students in grades PK-4 as part of the Mineral County Schools district. While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the state average, it faces challenges in academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts, and struggles to serve its low-income student population.

Frankfort Intermediate School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below the state and district averages. In 2023-2024, only 26.6% of 3rd graders and 42.3% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to state averages of 46.3% and 46.6%, respectively. The school's rankings among West Virginia elementary schools also vary significantly by student subgroup, with the school performing relatively well for its special education students but struggling for its low-income students, ranking in the bottom 15% of schools statewide.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Burlington Primary and Slanesville Elementary, Frankfort Intermediate School generally underperforms academically, particularly in English Language Arts. Additionally, the school's overwhelmingly white student population, which is not reflective of the racial diversity seen in some nearby schools, may present challenges in terms of cultural responsiveness and providing a well-rounded educational experience for students.
