Best Public Schools in Ranger, WV

Summary:

The city of Ranger, West Virginia has only one public school, Ranger Elementary, which serves students from kindergarten through 4th grade. Ranger Elementary is part of the Lincoln County Schools district, which is ranked 48 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Ranger Elementary does not appear to be a standout school, ranking 362 out of 368 elementary schools in West Virginia for the 2022-2023 school year with a 0-star rating. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the district and state averages in both math and English language arts. For example, only 23.1% of 3rd graders are proficient in math, compared to 38% in the district and 51.6% statewide.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, Ranger Elementary spends $17,664 per student, which is high compared to the state average. However, this high spending has not translated into improved academic outcomes. Additionally, the school has a predominantly white student population, with only 9.21% African American students, which is not representative of the broader diversity within West Virginia. Overall, the data suggests that Ranger Elementary and the Lincoln County Schools district as a whole face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to their students.
