Summary:
The city of Verdunville, West Virginia has only one school, Verdunville Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 120 students. The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its state-wide ranking fluctuating from 325 out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 170 out of 368 in 2023-2024. Verdunville Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) for 3rd and 4th grades are generally lower than the Logan County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $15,743 at Verdunville Elementary, the school's academic performance appears to be a concern. The school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate of 40.9% is lower than the Logan County Schools district (46.3%) and the state (53.2%). However, the school's 4th grade ELA proficiency rate of 62.5% is higher than the district (42.4%) and the state (46.6%). The fluctuating state-wide ranking and mixed academic performance suggest that Verdunville Elementary may be facing challenges in providing consistent, high-quality education to its students.
Without the specific free/reduced lunch rate, it's difficult to determine the socioeconomic status of the student population at Verdunville Elementary School, which could provide valuable context for understanding the school's academic performance. The high per-student spending also raises questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the potential impact on student outcomes. Overall, the analysis of the single school in the data set suggests that Verdunville Elementary School may be an area of focus for the Logan County Schools district and the state of West Virginia to address the school's performance and ensure that all students in the area have access to a high-quality education.
