Summary:
The city of Marlinton, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Marlinton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with an enrollment of 203 students. The school's student population is predominantly White, with less than 1% of students identifying as two or more races, reflecting the broader demographics of the Marlinton community.
Marlinton Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed, with the school's statewide ranking fluctuating between 3 out of 5 stars (137th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools) in the 2023-2024 school year and 4 out of 5 stars (88th out of 375) in 2021-2022. While the school outperforms the state in some grade levels and subjects on the West Virginia Assessment, it also underperforms in others, suggesting inconsistent academic outcomes. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $14,781, which is above the state average, this investment does not appear to translate directly to higher test scores.
Marlinton Elementary School's small student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1 could be seen as a positive, potentially allowing for more individualized attention and support for students. However, this metric alone does not guarantee better educational outcomes. Overall, the data provides a nuanced picture of Marlinton Elementary School, with both strengths and areas for improvement, and further analysis would be needed to fully understand the school's performance and the factors contributing to its successes and challenges within the Pocahontas County Schools district.
