Summary

Long Drain School is a small, rural elementary school in Metz, WV, serving 204 students in grades PK-8 within the Wetzel County Schools district, and it has recently shown one of the most dramatic turnarounds in the state.

The most striking news for parents is the school's remarkable improvement. After ranking in the bottom 3rd percentile statewide in 2024-2025, Long Drain jumped to the 38th percentile in 2025-2026—a gain of 127 positions in a single year. This far outpaces nearby schools like New Martinsville School (which held steady at the 69th percentile) and Short Line School (which improved modestly to the 35th percentile). The school also shines in early-grade math: 73.3% of 3rd graders are proficient, beating the state average by nearly 19 points. However, this strength fades by middle school—7th grade math proficiency drops to just 21.4%, a pattern seen at other district schools but starting from a lower base here.

There are important caveats. Female students at Long Drain are performing at the 74th percentile statewide (4 stars), while the most recent male student data shows them in the bottom 3rd percentile—a gap of over 70 points. Additionally, students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds remain at the 6th percentile, suggesting the overall improvement may not be reaching the most disadvantaged learners. The school spends a substantial $21,704 per student—34% more than New Martinsville School—yet its overall ranking remains mid-pack, and science proficiency (18.8%) trails both district and state averages. Given the school's history of volatile rankings (from the 68th percentile in 2016-2017 down to the 3rd percentile in 2024-2025), parents should view this year's gains as promising but not yet a guaranteed trend.
