Summary:
The city of Whitesville, West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, Whitesville Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5. Based on the available data, Whitesville Elementary School appears to be an underperforming school, consistently ranking in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools and earning a 1-star rating out of 5 in the most recent school year.
Whitesville Elementary School's test scores are significantly below the Boone County Schools and West Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also been declining over the past few years, dropping from 317 out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 315 out of 368 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White, with only 0.95% of students being African American, which may limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 and high spending per student of $14,648, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved academic outcomes. The data suggests that Whitesville Elementary School is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, and addressing the school's academic challenges should be a priority for the Boone County Schools district and local education authorities.
