of 355 West Virginia Elementary Schools

Better than 95% of West Virginia elementary schools

Summary

Hollywood Elementary in Beckley, WV, is a top-performing public school serving 240 students in grades PK through 5 within the Raleigh County Schools district.

This school is a true standout. In the 2025-2026 school year, Hollywood Elementary ranked 17th out of 355 elementary schools in West Virginia, placing it in the 95th percentile statewide. That puts it in the same elite tier as nearby Crescent Elementary (ranked 20th), and far ahead of other local options like Maxwell Hill Elementary (51st), Stanaford Elementary School (70th), and Ridgeview Elementary (135th). The gap is even more dramatic when compared to schools like Coal City Elementary (291st) or Stratton Elementary (322nd). Academically, 76.7% of students are proficient in math and 72.2% in English Language Arts—roughly 34 points higher than the district average in math and 19 points higher in ELA. This excellence is consistent across grade levels, with 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all posting strong proficiency rates.

What makes Hollywood particularly impressive is that it achieves these results while spending less per student ($11,793) than many peers, including Beckley Elementary ($12,672) and Stratton ($15,273). The school also excels with specific student groups, ranking 6th in the state for female students and 19th for students from low socio-economic backgrounds—earning a 5-star rating for effectively closing achievement gaps. While the school has seen a slight dip from its historic peak (when it ranked in the top 10 statewide from 2021-2024), it remains firmly among the best elementary schools in West Virginia and a clear leader in the Beckley area.
