Summary:
The city of Naoma, West Virginia has only one school in the data set - Marsh Fork Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 162 students. The school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 95.06% of students identifying as white.
Marsh Fork Elementary's performance on state assessments has been a concern, with proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts generally below the Raleigh County Schools and West Virginia state averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's scores were slightly higher in 3rd grade math and ELA, but in the previous year, proficiency rates dropped significantly, with 3rd grade ELA proficiency at just 6.3% compared to 45.3% for Raleigh County and 39.9% for the state.
Despite the school's higher spending per student ($14,371) and low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1, Marsh Fork Elementary is not translating these resources into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that the school is facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students, and further analysis and attention from school and district leaders may be necessary to address the declining performance and lack of diversity at the school.
