Best Public Schools in Holden, WV

Summary:

The city of Holden, West Virginia has only one public elementary school, Holden Central Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with an enrollment of 165 students. The school's performance on state assessments has declined in recent years, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) consistently lower than the Logan County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages.

In the 2023-2024 school year, Holden Central Elementary School's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 36.4%, compared to 46.3% for the Logan County Schools district and 53.2% for the state. Similarly, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate was 25%, compared to 42.4% for the district and 46.6% for the state. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep up with the academic performance of its peers, and further analysis would be needed to identify the underlying factors contributing to this decline.

Despite the school's lower test scores, Holden Central Elementary School has a student-teacher ratio of 18.3 to 1, which is within the typical range for elementary schools. Additionally, the school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $14,069. Without more context, it's difficult to determine the specific reasons for the school's declining performance, but factors such as socioeconomic status, resource allocation, and teacher quality could all play a role.
