Best Public Schools in Richwood, WV


Summary:

The city of Richwood, West Virginia has only one public elementary school, Cherry River Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5. With a student population of 151, the school's racial makeup is predominantly White (96.03%), with small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups.

Cherry River Elementary has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 252nd out of 368 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 372nd out of 375 in 2021-2022. This decline is reflected in the school's consistently underperforming test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels, falling below the averages of Nicholas County Schools and the state of West Virginia. Despite the school's academic challenges, it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10:1, suggesting that students may receive more individualized attention.

While Cherry River Elementary's spending per student is relatively high at $13,801, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The lack of diversity in the student population and the school's declining statewide ranking indicate that targeted interventions and support may be necessary to improve student outcomes and ensure that all students in Richwood have access to a high-quality education.
