Summary

George Washington Elementary is a public elementary school in Eleanor, West Virginia, serving 214 students in grades PK-5 and part of the Putnam County Schools district, which is ranked 3 out of 55 districts in the state and rated 5 stars.

The school has shown mixed performance on state assessments, with rankings ranging from 55th to 211th among West Virginia elementary schools in recent years. However, the school is projected to perform above the state average in 5th-grade Mathematics and English Language Arts in the 2024-2025 school year. Confidence Elementary, Rock Branch Elementary, and West Teays Elementary, nearby schools in the district, generally outperform George Washington Elementary on state assessments. The school's spending per student ($11,383) is slightly higher than the district average but lower than some of the higher-performing nearby schools.

George Washington Elementary has shown strong performance for male students and exceptional performance for special education students, but its performance for female students, white students, and students with low socioeconomic status has been more mixed. The school's overall performance, while strong in some areas, lags behind the district and state averages in many subjects and grade levels, indicating a need for targeted interventions and a comprehensive improvement plan.
