Summary:
The city of Alum Creek, West Virginia has only one public elementary school, Midway Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 256 students. Midway Elementary has a highly homogeneous student population, with 97.27% of students identifying as White, significantly higher than the state average. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with strong results in some grade levels and subjects, but underperformance in others, particularly in 5th grade math and science.
Midway Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 228th out of 368 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 251st out of 375 in 2021-2022. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied between 1 and 2 stars out of 5, indicating inconsistent quality. Without comparative data on other schools in the Lincoln County Schools district or the broader Alum Creek area, it is difficult to fully assess Midway Elementary's performance relative to its peers.
Overall, the data suggests that Midway Elementary School is the sole public elementary school serving the Alum Creek community, with a racially homogeneous student population and variable academic performance. While the school has shown some strengths, the fluctuations in its ranking and rating indicate a need for closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to ensure consistent, high-quality education for all students.
