Summary

Mason Dixon Elementary is a small school in Blacksville, WV, serving 305 students in grades PK-5 as part of Monongalia County Schools.

Mason Dixon faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 11% of all West Virginia elementary schools. This is especially striking because its home district is one of the top-performing in the state, rated 5 stars. The gap between Mason Dixon and nearby schools is substantial. For example, only 27.9% of Mason Dixon students are proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 60.6% across the district and 47.6% statewide. When compared to other Monongalia County elementary schools within 16 miles, the contrast is stark: Suncrest Elementary achieves 62.9% ELA proficiency, North Elementary reaches 60.4%, and Mylan Park Elementary hits 54.7%. Even Skyview Elementary, the lowest-performing nearby school, still outperforms Mason Dixon by nearly 20 percentage points in ELA.

The most concerning pattern is a dramatic drop in performance between 3rd and 4th grade. In math, 3rd graders score 61.4% proficiency—close to the district average—but 4th graders plummet to just 12.8%. This 48.6-point decline is far steeper than the normal dip seen district-wide. The school's special education students, however, are a bright spot, improving from the 2nd percentile to the 48th percentile in a single year. Mason Dixon spends about $14,044 per student and maintains a favorable 13.2:1 student-teacher ratio, comparable to higher-performing peers, suggesting the issue lies in how resources are used rather than a lack of funding. For parents, this school offers a caring environment, but the persistent achievement gaps and the 4th grade cliff warrant serious questions about instructional support and curriculum alignment.
