Summary:
The city of Fairdale, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Fairdale Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 418 students. While Fairdale Elementary is the only school in the city, its performance can be compared to the broader Raleigh County Schools district and the state of West Virginia.
Fairdale Elementary School has some areas of strength, particularly in English Language Arts, where students consistently outperform their peers in the district and state. However, the school's Mathematics performance is more variable, with 3rd and 4th grade students performing below average, while 5th graders excel. Despite maintaining a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 92nd out of 368 schools in 2022-2023 to 171st in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White, with very low percentages of other racial and ethnic groups represented.
In terms of funding, Fairdale Elementary School spends $10,042 per student, which is higher than the state average. However, it's unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student outcomes. Overall, the data suggests that Fairdale Elementary School has room for improvement, particularly in maintaining consistent academic performance across subject areas and grade levels, as well as addressing the lack of racial diversity in its student population.
