Summary

Hodgesville Elementary is a public elementary school located in Buckhannon, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 163 students. The school is part of the Upshur County Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hodgesville Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Upshur County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. The school has been ranked in the bottom third of West Virginia elementary schools for the past several years, with a ranking as low as 362 out of 383 schools in the 2018-2019 school year. Hodgesville Elementary's performance on standardized tests is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students, who are consistently ranked in the bottom third of West Virginia elementary schools.

In comparison, the nearby schools in the Upshur County district, such as French Creek Elementary, Washington District Elementary, Tennerton Elementary, and Buckhannon Academy Elementary, generally outperform Hodgesville Elementary in academic measures and school rankings. This suggests that the challenges faced by Hodgesville Elementary may be unique to the school itself, rather than a district-wide issue. The consistent underperformance of Hodgesville Elementary highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific challenges faced by the school.
