Summary

Mason Dixon Elementary is a public elementary school located in Blacksville, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 298 students. The school is part of the Monongalia County Schools district, which is ranked 5th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of a high-performing district, Mason Dixon Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools, with significantly lower proficiency rates on state assessments compared to the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 37.5% of 3rd graders, 22.9% of 4th graders, and 50% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 63.7%, 57.9%, and 54.4% for the district, respectively. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, white students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students.

While some nearby schools in the Marion County Schools district, such as Jayenne Elementary and Barrackville Elementary/Middle School, perform better than Mason Dixon Elementary, others, like Rivesville Elementary/Middle School and Long Drain School, also struggle with low academic performance. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio suggest that resource allocation and utilization may be areas that require further examination to address the persistent academic challenges faced by the school.
