Summary:
There is only one school located in the 25557 zip code, Ranger Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 76 students. Ranger Elementary's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades around 20-30 percentage points lower than the Lincoln County Schools and West Virginia state averages. The school has a consistently low statewide ranking, placing 362 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Ranger Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 90.79% of students identifying as White and 9.21% as African American. The school's free and reduced-price lunch rate is not provided, but this information could be useful to understand the socioeconomic status of the student population. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, which is generally considered a positive indicator for student learning, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,664, which is higher than the national average.
The analysis of the data provided for Ranger Elementary highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the school's underperformance, as well as the potential opportunities for improvement through targeted interventions and resource allocation. The school's consistently low performance on state assessments, despite its access to resources, suggests that the school is struggling to meet the academic needs of its students, and further investigation is warranted to address this issue.
