Summary:
Zip code 24818 is home to a single elementary school, Baileysville Elementary & Middle School, which serves students in grades PK through 8 and is part of the Wyoming County Schools district.
For parents considering this school, the most important takeaway is that Baileysville Elementary & Middle School shows a clear split in academic strengths. The school performs better in English Language Arts (ELA), with 44.5% of students proficient, which actually beats the district average of 41.9% but falls slightly below the state's 47.6%. However, mathematics is a significant weakness, with only 25.2% proficiency compared to 33.5% in the district and 39.4% statewide. Science scores are also low at 22.9% proficiency. The school has a low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1, which is a positive for personalized attention, but the academic results suggest this advantage isn't fully translating into higher achievement, especially in math.
There are notable patterns within the school itself. The 5th-grade class stands out as a strong cohort, achieving 66.7% proficiency in ELA and 38.9% in math, the highest in the school. In contrast, 3rd grade is a major concern, with only 20.6% proficiency in ELA and 14.7% in math. This suggests a critical need for early intervention. Additionally, performance tends to decline in the middle school years, with 8th-grade ELA dropping to 33.3% and science to 16.7%. The school's state ranking has also slipped over the past three years, now sitting at 234th out of 355 schools with a 2-star rating. Overall, this is a school with a strong ELA program in the upper elementary grades, but it faces clear challenges in math, early-grade foundations, and maintaining student progress through middle school.
