Summary:
The city of Burnsville, West Virginia has only one school serving grades PK-5 - Burnsville Elementary School. With an enrollment of 121 students, the school has a predominantly white student population and consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of West Virginia elementary schools in terms of academic performance.
Burnsville Elementary School's test scores are generally below the Braxton County Schools and West Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 52.6% in 2023-2024, compared to the county's 47.9% and the state's 53.2%. Additionally, the school has ranked 281 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024, 340 out of 368 in 2022-2023, and 357 out of 375 in 2021-2022, indicating a need for significant improvement in student academic achievement.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student at $11,671 and a low student-teacher ratio of 11.7, these factors do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students. The lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates also makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population, which could be a contributing factor to the school's performance. Overall, Burnsville Elementary School faces significant challenges in improving its academic standing and providing a high-quality education for its students.
