Summary:
The city of Left Hand, West Virginia has only one school, Geary Elementary/Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 229 students. The school is part of the Roane County Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Geary Elementary/Middle School has a predominantly white student population, with 96.07% of students identifying as white. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in mathematics, English Language Arts, and science, has generally declined over the past two school years and is consistently below the state averages in all subject areas and grade levels. For example, the school's mathematics proficiency rates range from 0% in 5th grade to 66.7% in 4th grade, compared to the state averages ranging from 28.7% in 8th grade to 53.2% in 3rd grade.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $12,582, its academic performance continues to struggle. The school's student-teacher ratio of 9.9 for the 2022-2023 school year suggests that the school may have the resources to provide more individualized attention, but the data indicates that the school is facing challenges in maintaining and improving its academic performance, particularly in comparison to state-level standards. The lack of diversity in the student population may also be a factor that warrants further investigation.
