Summary:
The city of Mannington, West Virginia is home to two schools: Blackshere Elementary School and Mannington Middle School. These schools serve students from the local community and are part of the Marion County Schools district.
Blackshere Elementary School stands out for its high percentage of white students at 97.6%, which is significantly higher than the state average. In contrast, Mannington Middle School has performed relatively well on state assessments, with several grade levels scoring above the state and district averages in math and English language arts. Both schools have smaller class sizes, with student-teacher ratios lower than the state average.
While Blackshere Elementary School's proficiency rates in math and ELA were below the district and state averages for 3rd and 4th grades, Mannington Middle School's performance was more mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages and others below. Additionally, Mannington Middle School's science proficiency rates for 5th and 8th grades were also below the district and state averages. These findings suggest the need for further investigation into the schools' curriculum, teaching practices, and support systems to identify areas for improvement and ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
