Summary

Bruceton School is an elementary school located in Bruceton Mills, West Virginia, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 588 students. It is part of the Preston County Schools district, which is ranked 35 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bruceton School outperforms the Preston County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in several key academic areas, particularly in mathematics. For example, in 2024-2025, Bruceton School had 61.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math, compared to 53% for the district and state. The school also performs well in English Language Arts and science, with 4th and 5th grade students scoring significantly higher than the district and state averages. However, the school struggles with lower rankings for students with disabilities and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds, indicating an achievement gap that needs to be addressed.

When compared to the high-performing elementary schools in the neighboring Monongalia County Schools district, such as Ridgedale Elementary School, Suncrest Elementary School, and Cheat Lake Elementary School, Bruceton School falls behind in several academic areas, particularly in math. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating a stable level of performance, but it may benefit from learning from the high-performing schools in the neighboring district to further improve its overall performance.
