Best Public Schools in Grantsville, WV

Summary:

The city of Grantsville, West Virginia is home to a single elementary school, Pleasant Hill School, which serves grades PK-4 and has 176 students enrolled. This standout school consistently outperforms the state and district averages on standardized tests, with 3rd and 4th-grade students scoring well above their peers in both math and English language arts. Pleasant Hill School is part of the Calhoun County Schools district, which is ranked 39th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pleasant Hill School's exceptional academic performance is highlighted by its consistent ranking among the top 25% of West Virginia elementary schools in the 2021-2022 and 2023-2024 school years. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 10:1 likely contributes to its strong results, as it suggests more individualized attention for students. Additionally, the school spends $14,452 per student, which is higher than the state average, indicating a potential resource advantage.

However, the school's student population is notably homogeneous, with 96.02% of students identifying as white, significantly above the state average. This raises questions about the diversity of the student body and whether the school is serving all students equitably. While Pleasant Hill School is a standout performer in the Grantsville area, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to its success and how it compares to other schools in the region.
