Summary:
The city of McMechen, West Virginia, has a single school serving students in the area - Center McMechen Elementary School. This school has consistently performed well, ranking among the top 115 elementary schools in West Virginia for the past three school years. With a high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, the school appears to have access to significant resources, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.
Academically, Center McMechen Elementary School has shown mixed results in recent years. While the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) are generally higher than the Marshall County Schools district and the state of West Virginia, there are some grade levels where the school's performance is lower, particularly in 3rd-grade mathematics and ELA. In science, the school's 5th-grade proficiency rates have been consistently higher than the district and state averages.
One potential area of concern is the school's racial demographics, which show a significant majority of White students (86.29%). This may raise questions about equity and access for students of color in the school. Overall, Center McMechen Elementary School appears to be a high-performing school within the Marshall County Schools district, but the school's performance in certain grade levels and the potential equity concerns warrant further investigation and analysis.
