Summary

Anna Jarvis Elementary School in Grafton, WV, serves 461 students in grades PK-4 and is the largest elementary school in the Taylor County Schools district. The school currently holds a 0-star rating, ranking 345th out of 355 elementary schools statewide, which places it in the 3rd percentile—a significant decline from its 3-star performance in 2018-2019.

The most pressing concern is the English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency gap. Only 29.5% of students are proficient in ELA, which is 18 points below the state average of 47.6%. Math proficiency sits at 33.6%, also below the state average of 39.4%. A troubling pattern emerges by grade level: 3rd graders achieve 38.8% proficiency in math, but this drops to 29.1% by 4th grade. Similarly, ELA proficiency falls from 32.8% in 3rd grade to 26.6% in 4th grade, suggesting students are losing ground as they advance. The school also struggles significantly with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 1st percentile for this subgroup.

What makes this situation particularly striking is the comparison to West Taylor Elementary School, located just 7 miles away in the same district. West Taylor ranks in the 84th percentile with 62.8% math proficiency and 60.6% ELA proficiency—nearly double Anna Jarvis's results—despite spending less per student ($10,773 vs. $11,664). This suggests school-level factors, not district policies, are driving the gap. There is historical evidence of success: in 2016-2017, the school's special education students ranked in the 58th percentile, and African American students achieved an 86th percentile ranking, demonstrating the capacity for improvement. The path forward will require targeted early literacy interventions, stronger support for economically disadvantaged students, and a close look at what neighboring schools are doing differently.
