Summary

Williamson Pk8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Williamson, West Virginia, part of the Mingo County Schools district. With 502 students and a student-teacher ratio of around 14:1, the school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past decade, dropping from the top 25% of West Virginia elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the middle 50% in recent years.

Academically, Williamson Pk8 generally performs below the state and district averages in both math and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 34.1% compared to the state average of 53% and the district average of 50.4%. The school's performance is particularly weak in 7th and 8th grade math, where proficiency rates have been below 35% in recent years. However, the school does perform better in certain areas, such as 5th and 6th grade English language arts, where proficiency rates have been above 60% in some years.
