Summary

Baileysville Elementary & Middle School serves 267 students in grades PK-8 in the rural community of Brenton, WV, as part of Wyoming County Schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.4:1.

This school is on a clear upward trajectory. After spending most of the past decade in the bottom quartile of West Virginia schools, Baileysville has improved from the 14th percentile in 2022-2023 to the 34th percentile in 2025-2026, earning a 2-star rating. The most striking strength is English Language Arts in grades 5-7, where students substantially outperform both district and state averages. For example, 5th grade ELA proficiency is 66.7%, compared to 40% for the district and 51% statewide. This suggests effective literacy interventions in the upper elementary grades. The school also showed dramatic improvement with low-income students, jumping from the 16th to the 42nd percentile in a single year. However, math remains a significant weakness, with only 14.7% of 3rd graders proficient compared to 54.4% statewide. The school also sees a notable drop in 8th grade performance across subjects, and there is a persistent, unusual gender gap—male students rank in the 42nd percentile statewide while female students rank in the 13th percentile, a pattern consistent for three years.

Compared to nearby PK-8 schools, Baileysville's overall ranking (34th percentile) is stronger than Road Branch Elementary & Middle School (21st percentile) and Huff Cons Elementary & Middle School (19th percentile), though it trails Glen Fork Elementary & Middle School in overall proficiency. Notably, Glen Fork has been declining while Baileysville is improving. The school's 5th grade ELA performance is the highest among all comparable PK-8 schools in the area. At $12,615 per student, the school achieves these results with relatively modest funding compared to several nearby schools, suggesting efficient resource use. While challenges remain in math and 8th grade outcomes, the consistent improvement over the past three years indicates recent changes are having a positive impact.
