Summary

George Washington Elementary School in Eleanor, WV, is a small, welcoming school serving 201 students from Pre-K through 5th grade, and it's part of the highly-regarded Putnam County Schools district, which ranks 2nd in the state.

One of the most impressive things about George Washington is its success with students from low-income backgrounds. The school ranks in the 85th percentile statewide for supporting these students, earning a 4-star rating—a consistent strength over the past three years. This suggests the school has effective strategies for helping all children succeed, regardless of their circumstances. However, there's a notable gap in performance between boys and girls. Boys rank in the 77th percentile, while girls rank in the 48th percentile, a difference that has persisted for several years. Additionally, while the school's overall math scores are close to the district average, there's a significant dip in 4th grade, where only 42.3% of students are proficient in math, compared to 71.4% in 3rd grade. This could point to a challenging transition year that parents might want to be aware of.

Compared to its neighbors, George Washington holds its own. It performs better than Buffalo Elementary School (36th percentile) and is on par with Poca Elementary School (71st percentile), though it trails higher-performing schools like West Teays Elementary School (#4) and Rock Branch Elementary School (#9). The school also shows promise in science, with 5th-grade scores jumping to 53.6% proficiency in 2024-2025, well above the district average. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.4, George Washington offers a supportive, small-school environment where dedicated teachers can give students the attention they need.
