Summary

Scott Teays Elementary School in Scott Depot, WV, serves 435 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the highly-ranked Putnam County Schools district, which is rated 2nd out of 54 districts in the state. This school has consistently ranked in the top 10% of West Virginia elementary schools for nearly a decade, with its most recent ranking placing it 32nd out of 355 schools statewide (91st percentile).

What truly sets Scott Teays apart is its remarkable efficiency. The school achieves outstanding academic results while spending just $9,660 per student—significantly less than every comparable nearby school, including Winfield Elementary ($12,115) and West Teays Elementary ($11,700). Scott Teays also maintains a 20:1 student-teacher ratio, nearly double that of Lakeside Elementary (10.7:1) and Anne Bailey Elementary (9.8:1), yet still outperforms most of these schools academically. In mathematics, 73.7% of Scott Teays students are proficient, compared to the state average of 39.4%—a remarkable 34-point advantage. The school also excels in supporting economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group.

While Scott Teays delivers strong results, there are areas worth noting. The school's 5th-grade science scores dropped significantly to 41.8% proficiency, falling below the district average for the first time. Additionally, a gender gap has emerged, with female students ranking in the 97th percentile statewide while male students rank in the 80th percentile. For families considering their options, West Teays Elementary, located just 3.38 miles away, posts slightly higher raw scores but costs more per student. Scott Teays offers an excellent, cost-effective education that delivers top-tier results through instructional quality and school culture rather than abundant resources.
