Coalton Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom 20% of West Virginia elementary schools for the past 3 school years, indicating a persistent struggle to perform at or above state averages. The school's proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessments are notably lower than the Randolph County Schools district and state averages, with gaps of 20-30 percentage points or more in many subject areas and grade levels. Despite the low performance, Coalton Elementary School spends a relatively high amount per student ($12,006) compared to the state average.
The unspecified free/reduced lunch rate at Coalton Elementary School may indicate higher levels of economic disadvantage among the student population, which could contribute to the school's academic challenges. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and community factors would be necessary to identify the root causes of the performance issues and develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
