Summary

Baileysville Elementary & Middle School is a public school in Brenton, West Virginia, serving 276 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Wyoming County Schools district, which is ranked 38 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Baileysville Elementary & Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom third of West Virginia elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics. Compared to nearby schools like Glen Fork Elementary & Middle School and Huff Cons Elementary & Middle School, Baileysville generally performs worse, with lower proficiency rates and overall rankings.

The school's performance for certain student subgroups, such as those from disadvantaged backgrounds, is especially concerning, with rankings in the bottom 10-20% of the state. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and moderate per-student spending, its academic outcomes remain poor, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization. Overall, Baileysville Elementary & Middle School is a consistently low-performing school that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
