Best Public Schools in Elizabeth, WV

Summary:

The city of Elizabeth, West Virginia, is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The data analysis reveals a mix of high-performing and underperforming schools in the area, providing valuable insights for parents and the community.

The standout schools in Elizabeth are the Wirt County Primary Center and the Wirt County Middle School. Both schools consistently outperform the state average in mathematics, English Language Arts, and science proficiency, earning them 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, the Wirt County High School lags behind the state average in mathematics and science, though it performs better in English Language Arts.

The data also reveals a concerning lack of diversity in the student population, with the schools in Elizabeth having a very high percentage of white students, ranging from 95.93% to 99.41%. This suggests a need to explore ways to promote diversity and inclusivity within the Wirt County Schools district. Additionally, the higher spending per student at the high school level compared to the other schools raises questions about the effective allocation of resources and its impact on student outcomes.
