Creed Collins Elementary appears to be a relatively strong-performing school, with 4-star and 3-star ratings from SchoolDigger in recent years. The school's proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment in Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally higher than the state averages, particularly in 4th grade. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 11.3 is lower than the state average, suggesting smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.

This suggests the school's performance may be somewhat volatile or inconsistent. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics are generally stronger than its proficiency rates in English Language Arts, indicating a potential need to focus on improving ELA instruction and outcomes.
