Summary

West Teays Elementary School in Hurricane, WV, serves 453 students in grades PK through 5 and has earned a reputation as one of the top elementary schools in the state, ranking 4th out of 355 schools in West Virginia. The school has consistently placed in the top 1% of elementary schools statewide for nearly a decade, making it a standout choice for families in the Putnam County Schools district.

Academically, West Teays dramatically outperforms both district and state averages. In math, 81.1% of students are proficient compared to the state average of 39.4%, and in English Language Arts, 78.8% are proficient versus the state average of 47.6%. Fifth-grade science scores jumped to 75% proficiency this year, a significant increase from previous years. The school also excels across all student groups, including special education students (ranked #7 in the state) and students from low-income households (ranked #12 in the state), demonstrating that strong results are achieved equitably. When compared to nearby schools, the gap is striking—Conner Street Elementary (2.8 miles away) has 58.5% math proficiency, while Scott Teays Elementary, the closest competitor, trails by 7.4 points in math and 13.7 points in ELA. Even Culloden Elementary, a top-40 school in the neighboring Cabell County Schools district, falls short of West Teays' performance.

What makes this school particularly impressive is that it achieves these results with a student-teacher ratio of 14.2:1, which is mid-pack compared to nearby schools. For instance, Lakeside Elementary has a lower ratio of 10.7:1 but achieves far lower proficiency rates. This suggests that West Teays' success stems from highly effective teaching practices and a strong school culture rather than simply smaller class sizes. For parents seeking an elementary school with proven, sustained academic excellence, West Teays stands out as the gold standard in the Hurricane area.
