Summary

Lenore Pk8 School in Williamson, WV, is a PK-8 school serving 361 students in the Mingo County Schools district, and it has become one of the region's most impressive success stories.

This school has undergone a remarkable transformation. Just a few years ago, it was ranked in the 29th percentile statewide; today, it sits in the 67th percentile with a solid 3-star rating. That's a nearly 40-point jump, making it the second-highest ranked PK-8 school in Mingo County. The school's standout strength is science, where 35% of students are proficient—well above both the district (22.7%) and state (29.3%) averages, and higher than nearby Matewan Pk8 and Burch Pk8. Even more striking is 6th grade English Language Arts, where an extraordinary 80% of students are proficient—a full 32.6 percentage points above the state average and higher than any grade level at the highly-rated Crum Pre K-8 School. The school also excels with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide for that group, and with female students, who perform notably better than their male counterparts.

While the news is largely positive, there are areas for growth. Middle school math shows a clear drop-off, with 7th grade proficiency at just 21.2%—below even the district average. This is the one grade level where Lenore underperforms its own district, and it represents the biggest opportunity for improvement. The school also trails Crum Pre K-8 in nearly every subject, though Lenore's efficiency is notable: at $11,566 per student, it spends less than nearby Logan County Schools while delivering above-average results. With its strong trajectory, dedicated focus on science and literacy, and proven success with students facing economic challenges, Lenore Pk8 is a school on the rise that parents should watch closely.
