Summary

Jennings Randolph Elementary School in Elkins, WV, is a PK-5 school serving 212 students within the Randolph County Schools district, and it is currently one of the stronger-performing elementary schools in the area despite the district ranking 51st of 54 statewide.

The school is on a strong upward trajectory. After a challenging period in 2023-2024, it has climbed 110 spots in the state rankings to 165th (54th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025-2026. Current proficiency rates are 45% in math and 47% in English Language Arts—both well above the district averages of 24.2% and 35.5%, and the math rate even exceeds the state average of 39.4%. The 5th grade stands out as a particular strength, with 55.6% proficiency in both math and ELA, and an impressive 48.2% in science—nearly double the district average. The school also shows notable effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 58th percentile statewide for that subgroup. Historically, it has also demonstrated excellence in supporting special education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide in 2018-2019.

Compared to nearby schools, Jennings Randolph significantly outperforms most of its neighbors. Its math proficiency rate of 45% is more than double that of Beverly Elementary School (18.2%) and nearly triple that of Coalton Elementary School (16%). It also outpaces Elkins Third Ward Elementary School (35.6% math) and North Elementary School (47% math), though it trails Midland Elementary School (57.5% math). The main area for improvement is a noticeable dip in 4th grade performance—math proficiency drops to 29.3% versus 56.3% in 3rd grade—and a gender gap where female students rank in the 65th percentile while male students rank in the 38th. Overall, Jennings Randolph is a school on the rise, delivering solid results for its students.
