Best Public Schools in War, WV


Summary:

The city of War, West Virginia has only one school, Southside K-8, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 314 students. This school is the sole educational institution in the city, and its performance is a critical factor for the community.

Southside K-8 has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of West Virginia elementary schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating poor performance. The school's students perform significantly below the state and district averages in core academic subjects, such as mathematics, English Language Arts, and science. For instance, only 4% to 40.7% of Southside K-8 students are proficient in mathematics, and just 4% to 10% are proficient in science, which is a concerning trend.

Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student and relatively low student-teacher ratio, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. The school also lacks diversity, with over 92% of its students identifying as white, which may limit the educational experience for its students. Overall, the data suggests that McDowell County Schools and the city of War face significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to the students at Southside K-8.
