Summary:
The city of Wayne, West Virginia is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Wayne High School, Wayne Elementary School, and Wayne Middle School. These schools operate within the Wayne County Schools district.
Wayne Elementary School stands out as a strong performer, ranking 161 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the county and state averages in math and English language arts proficiency for grades 3-5. In contrast, Wayne High School struggled, ranking 100 out of 112 West Virginia high schools with a 1-star rating. The high school had particularly low math proficiency, with only 7.4% of 11th graders proficient or better, compared to 17.9% statewide.
Across the three schools, the student population is predominantly White, with over 96% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may impact the educational experiences and perspectives of the students. Additionally, the schools' SchoolDigger ratings fluctuate from year to year, suggesting potential instability or inconsistency in their performance. While per-student spending varies, with Wayne Elementary School spending the most, the lack of free/reduced lunch data makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations and any potential equity concerns.
