Best Public Schools in Moatsville, WV


Summary:

The city of Moatsville, West Virginia has only one school, Kasson Elementary/Middle School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. This public school has a total enrollment of 176 students, the vast majority of whom (98.86%) identify as White, indicating a highly homogeneous student population.

Academically, Kasson Elementary/Middle School has struggled in recent years, with its performance on state assessments consistently falling below the averages for Barbour County and the state of West Virginia. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 0% to 41.7% in English Language Arts and 8.3% to 38.5% in Mathematics, significantly lower than the state averages. This trend of declining academic performance has led to the school's statewide ranking dropping from 216 out of 375 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 356 out of 368 in 2023-2024.

Despite the school's adequate funding, with per-student spending of $11,553 in the 2018-2019 school year, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13:1 in the 2022-2023 school year, the academic outcomes suggest that these resources may not be effectively utilized or allocated to support student learning. The school's homogeneous student population and the apparent disconnect between funding/staffing and academic performance warrant further investigation to identify the root causes and develop targeted interventions to improve student achievement at Kasson Elementary/Middle School.
