Summary

Crum Pre K-8 School is a small, rural school in Crum, WV, serving 236 students in grades PK-8 as part of Wayne County Schools. This school has become a standout success story, with its state ranking soaring from the 10th percentile just a few years ago to the 77th percentile today—a remarkable turnaround that makes it one of the most improved schools in the region.

Academically, Crum Pre K-8 outperforms its district and state averages by wide margins. In math, 65.9% of students are proficient, compared to just 37% district-wide and 39.4% statewide. Reading and science scores are similarly strong. The middle school grades are especially impressive: 8th graders hit 81.3% proficiency in English Language Arts—nearly double the state average—and 6th through 8th grade math scores range from 69-72%, far exceeding peers. When compared to nearby schools, the difference is striking. Fort Gay Pre K-8, just 16 miles away, posts only 35% math proficiency, while Williamson Pk8 and Harts Pk-8 trail by 17-27 percentage points in math. Even East Lynn Elementary, the district's next-best performer, falls well behind Crum's proficiency rates.

What makes this success even more notable is that Crum achieves it with students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the 89th percentile statewide for this group. The school also does this efficiently, spending less per student than nearby schools like Genoa Elementary or Hugh Dingess Elementary while getting far better results. One area to watch is 3rd grade reading, where only 23.4% of students are proficient—well below state averages. However, by 4th grade, reading scores jump to 58.8%, suggesting the school has effective interventions in place. With a favorable 11.2:1 student-teacher ratio and strong performance across nearly every grade and subject, Crum Pre K-8 is a model for what rural schools can achieve.

My child had the great opportunity to learn from the teachers at Crum throughout her elementary and middle school years. She was more than prepared for high school. I am so thankful for the great teachers and staff at this school. Being from a rural area, our children are not always given the same opportunities as other places. However, I would not have traded her experience for anywhere else. Close Quote
