Summary:
The city of Metz, West Virginia has only one school in the data set, Long Drain School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 167 students. The school is part of the Wetzel County Schools district, which is ranked 40 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Long Drain School has consistently performed poorly, ranking in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science are all below the district and state averages. Despite the school's low academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,704, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school has a low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1, suggesting small class sizes, but this has not translated into better academic outcomes for the students.
The most notable finding about Long Drain School is its lack of diversity, with a student population that is 100% White. This homogeneity may be a contributing factor to the school's struggles and could indicate challenges in attracting a more diverse student body. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of a struggling school that is underperforming academically and facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students.
