Summary

Jennings Randolph Elementary School is a public elementary school in Elkins, West Virginia, serving 229 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Randolph County Schools district, which is ranked 55 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jennings Randolph Elementary School has seen fluctuations in its academic performance, ranging from a 4-star rating in 2020-2021 to a 1-star rating in 2023-2024. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, with 4th and 5th-grade proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in some years. The school's special education students have performed particularly well, ranking in the top 16 out of 185 West Virginia elementary schools in 2018-2019.

Compared to nearby schools, Tucker Valley Elementary Middle School and Union Elementary School have shown mixed performance, with some areas of strength and weakness compared to Jennings Randolph. However, Midland Elementary has consistently outperformed Jennings Randolph, particularly in mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's high-poverty student population and its location within a low-performing district may be contributing factors to its struggles, but the school's strengths, such as its resource allocation and support for special education students, provide a foundation for potential improvement.
