Elm Grove has shown remarkable improvement in recent years, jumping from the 64th percentile to the 85th percentile statewide in just one year—a 75-position leap that places it among the top schools in the region. The school now ranks 53rd out of 355 elementary schools in West Virginia with a 4-star rating. What truly sets Elm Grove apart is its exceptional support for students who often face the biggest challenges. The school ranks in the 91st percentile for students from low socio-economic backgrounds and an extraordinary 93rd percentile for special education students—both 5-star ratings that far exceed most nearby schools. This means your child will receive strong, individualized attention regardless of their starting point.

While Elm Grove trails top-performing schools like Steenrod Elementary (95th percentile) and Middle Creek Elementary (90th percentile), it outperforms several nearby options including Ritchie Elementary (39th percentile) and Warwood Elementary (48th percentile). Notably, Elm Grove also surpasses all Marshall County Schools in the area, including Hilltop Elementary, which sits 36 percentile points lower despite being just 2.5 miles away. The school has achieved 4-star or better ratings in 7 of the last 10 years, demonstrating sustained excellence. While 4th grade math shows a temporary dip and science scores have fluctuated, the overall trajectory is decidedly positive—making Elm Grove a compelling choice for families seeking strong academics and dedicated support for all learners.
