Summary

Hodgesville Elementary is a small school in Buckhannon, WV, serving 151 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Upshur County Schools district. While the school has faced significant academic challenges over the past decade, recent data shows a modest upward trend that may offer some hope for families.

The most striking concern for parents is the school's performance in mathematics. In the most recent school year, only 23.3% of Hodgesville students scored proficient in math, compared to the district average of 36.3% and state average of 39.4%. This gap is especially pronounced in 4th grade, where just 12.5% of students met proficiency standards—a staggering 41 percentage points below the district average. Nearby schools in the same district perform dramatically better, including French Creek Elementary (57.3% math proficiency) and Buckhannon Academy Elementary School (52.5%). English Language Arts scores are closer to average, with 40% proficiency versus the state's 47.6%, but 4th grade ELA also shows a notable dip at just 25% proficiency.

There are some positive signs worth noting. The school's overall ranking improved from the 3rd percentile to the 10th percentile in the latest year, and low-income students showed dramatic gains, jumping from the 4th to the 32nd percentile. Special education students have also consistently performed relatively well compared to peers statewide. However, Hodgesville spends less per student ($9,881) than all comparable nearby schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.6 is higher than several peers. With only 151 students, year-to-year changes in a single grade can have outsized effects on results, so parents should consider both the current data and the school's improvement trajectory when making decisions.
