Summary

Blennerhassett Elementary School in Parkersburg, WV, serves 522 students in grades PK-5 and is the largest elementary school in Wood County Schools, consistently earning top ratings statewide.

Blennerhassett is a high-achieving school that gets impressive results with efficient use of resources. In math, 67.4% of students are proficient compared to 39.4% statewide, and in English Language Arts, 64.3% are proficient versus 47.6% statewide. The school ranks 47th out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools, placing it in the 87th percentile. What makes this particularly noteworthy is that Blennerhassett achieves these outcomes with the lowest per-student spending ($10,868) among nearby schools and a higher student-teacher ratio of 15.3:1. By comparison, Martin Elementary School spends $18,101 per student with an 8.9:1 ratio yet achieves significantly lower academic results. The school shows exceptional strength with male students, ranking 21st statewide (93rd percentile), and with special education students, ranking 21st out of 158 schools. It also supports students from low socioeconomic backgrounds well, ranking in the 87th percentile for this group.

While Blennerhassett outperforms several nearby schools like Madison Elementary School (ranked 301st) and Jefferson Elementary Center (ranked 289th), it faces strong competition from Criss Elementary School (ranked 5th) and Lubeck Elementary School (ranked 19th), both of which exceed its scores. One area for attention is the declining performance from 3rd to 5th grade—math proficiency drops from 76.1% in 3rd grade to 56.9% in 5th grade, and 5th grade ELA falls below the district average. Science proficiency (40.3%) also trails the district average (42.1%). Despite these challenges, Blennerhassett's decade-long record of 4-star or 5-star ratings demonstrates consistent, effective education that delivers strong results with modest resources.
