Summary:
The city of Lumberport, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Lumberport Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While Lumberport Elementary's academic performance shows some strengths, particularly in mathematics, the school also faces challenges in areas like science proficiency and English Language Arts.
Lumberport Elementary's student body is predominantly White, with small percentages of Hispanic and multiracial students. The school's mathematics proficiency rates are generally higher than the Harrison County Schools district and West Virginia state averages, though 5th grade math scores drop off significantly. In contrast, the school's English Language Arts results are more uneven, with 3rd and 4th grade students performing below district and state levels, but 5th graders excelling. Science proficiency for 5th graders is a clear area of concern, lagging the district and state by a wide margin.
With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.5 to 1, Lumberport Elementary appears to have sufficient staffing resources. However, the school's statewide ranking, which has fluctuated between 180th and 218th out of 368-375 West Virginia elementary schools over the past three years, suggests these resources may not be fully translating into strong overall academic performance. Understanding the factors behind the school's strengths and weaknesses could help identify opportunities for targeted improvement and support.
