Summary

Dunlow Elementary School is a small public elementary school in Dunlow, West Virginia, serving 83 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Wayne County Schools district, which is ranked 15th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Dunlow Elementary School has a unique racial composition, with 100% of its students being White, in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Prichard Elementary School and Wayne Elementary School. The school's student performance on state assessments is mixed, with strong performance in 5th grade English Language Arts but struggles in 5th grade Mathematics. However, the school's rankings for specific student groups, such as female students and low socioeconomic status students, are relatively strong, with some rankings in the top 100 schools in the state.

Dunlow Elementary School's small size, with a low student-teacher ratio, may contribute to its unique dynamics and challenges. While the school's performance is mixed compared to the state and county averages, it generally outperforms the nearby schools in the Lincoln County and Mingo County school districts, which have lower overall rankings and student achievement. The school's fluctuating ranking and strong support for low-income students provide interesting insights into its overall performance and the factors that may be influencing it.
