Summary

Kermit Pre K8 is a Pre-K through 8th grade school in the rural Appalachian community of Kermit, WV, serving 299 students within the Mingo County Schools district. The school has transformed itself over the past decade, climbing from a 2-star rating to a consistent 3-4 star performer, and now ranks in the upper half of elementary schools statewide.

Kermit Pre K8 stands out for its strong academic performance across all core subjects, beating both district and state averages in math, English, and science. The school is particularly effective in the upper grades—its 8th grade math proficiency (56.7%) is more than double the district rate and over six times higher than nearby Burch Pk8 (9.3%). This success in middle school is unusual for rural schools, which often see performance decline in 7th and 8th grade. The school also excels with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for this group. With a favorable 12.4:1 student-to-teacher ratio, students benefit from relatively small class sizes. The school achieves these results while spending less per student ($11,672) than several nearby schools that perform worse, including Hugh Dingess Elementary School and Verdunville Elementary School.

While the school's overall trajectory is impressive, there are areas for improvement. Fifth grade math proficiency (30.4%) lags well behind district and state averages, though students show strong recovery by 6th grade. The nearby Crum Pre K-8 School, just 7 miles away in Wayne County Schools, outperforms Kermit across every subject, demonstrating that even higher achievement is possible in the region. For parents considering Kermit Pre K8, the school offers a proven track record of academic growth, particularly strong middle school preparation, and effective support for students from all backgrounds—making it a solid choice within Mingo County.
