Summary

Mabscott Elementary is a small PK-5 school in Mabscott, WV, serving 219 students within the Raleigh County Schools district. The school is currently ranked in the 19th percentile statewide, a significant drop from the previous year's 53rd percentile, and its performance has fluctuated widely over the past decade.

The most pressing concern at Mabscott is mathematics. Overall math proficiency sits at just 28.6%, compared to the district average of 42.7% and state average of 39.4%. This gap widens dramatically by 5th grade, where only 12.1% of students are proficient in math, versus the state average of 44%. That represents a 22-point drop from 3rd grade proficiency, suggesting a systemic challenge in upper elementary math instruction. The contrast with nearby schools is stark: Hollywood Elementary, less than a mile away, boasts 76.7% math proficiency and ranks in the 95th percentile, while Crescent Elementary (94th percentile) and Maxwell Hill Elementary (86th percentile) also far outpace Mabscott. English Language Arts proficiency (44.9%) is closer to the state average (47.6%) but still trails these high-performing neighbors, all of which exceed 69%.

There are some bright spots. Fourth-grade students showed relative strength, with ELA proficiency (51.9%) exceeding the state average and math proficiency (40.7%) near it, suggesting effective strategies that could be replicated in other grades. However, the school's overall decline is broad-based, affecting multiple student groups, and gender performance flipped dramatically from one year to the next. The wide gap between Mabscott and its nearby peers points to school-level factors—such as instructional quality and resource allocation—as key drivers, rather than community demographics. For parents, this means the school faces real challenges, particularly in math, but also has pockets of success to build upon.
