Summary:
The city of Lavalette, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Lavalette Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 233 students. While there are no other schools within the city to directly compare it to, the data provides insights into Lavalette Elementary's performance and characteristics relative to the broader Wayne County Schools district and the state of West Virginia.
Lavalette Elementary School appears to be a standout performer, with proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment that exceed the district and state averages, particularly in Mathematics. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 96th out of 375 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 193rd out of 368 in 2022-2023. This variability in performance may be an area for further investigation. Additionally, the school's predominantly White student population (96.14%) suggests the need to examine the diversity and inclusiveness of the school community.
Other notable characteristics of Lavalette Elementary include a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, which may contribute to the school's academic success, and higher-than-average spending per student at $12,444 in the 2018-2019 school year. Overall, while Lavalette Elementary School appears to be a strong performer, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors driving its performance and identify any areas for improvement.
