Summary

North Elementary School in Morgantown, WV, is a mid-sized school serving 586 students in grades PK through 5, located near West Virginia University in the highly-rated Monongalia County Schools district.

North Elementary has a strong history of academic success, consistently ranking among the top 20% of elementary schools in West Virginia for the past decade, with its best years between 2015 and 2021. However, the school has seen a noticeable decline in recent years, slipping from a top-20 ranking to 73rd in the state for the 2025-2026 school year. While still above average, this places it behind several nearby peers like Cheat Lake Elementary School (27th), Ridgedale Elementary School (29th), Suncrest Elementary School (37th), and Brookhaven Elementary School (39th). The most significant area of concern is math proficiency, where North's overall rate of 56.2% is the lowest among these top-performing neighbors. This gap is especially pronounced in 5th grade, where only 50.7% of students are proficient in math, compared to 70.2% at Cheat Lake and 65.3% at Brookhaven.

There are some bright spots. Science proficiency has shown steady improvement, rising from 39% to 45.3% over the past few years, and overall English Language Arts performance (60.4%) is on par with the district average. However, the most pressing concern is the school's recent performance with its most vulnerable students. In just two years, rankings for Special Education students dropped from the 72nd percentile to the 32nd, and for low-income students from the 66th to the 34th percentile. This dramatic decline suggests that support systems for these groups need attention. For parents considering North Elementary, it remains a solid school, but one that is currently facing challenges in math instruction and equitable support for all learners, especially when compared to its higher-performing neighbors in the district.
