Summary:
The Barbour County Board Of Education district in West Virginia is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. While the schools in this rural district share some common challenges, the data reveals significant variation in their academic performance and other key metrics.
The standout school in the district is Junior Elementary, which ranks 134th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and earns a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. Junior Elementary outperforms the district and state averages in both mathematics and English language arts, with 66.7% of 3rd graders proficient or better in math compared to 47% for the district and 53.2% for the state. This high-performing school also has the smallest class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.3.
In contrast, the other schools in the Barbour County Board Of Education district struggle to meet state averages on test scores, particularly Kasson Elementary/Middle School. Additionally, the district's student population is predominantly white, ranging from 92.48% at Philippi Elementary School to 99.07% at Junior Elementary, which could indicate potential equity concerns. Addressing these disparities in performance and diversity will be crucial for ensuring all students in the Barbour County district receive a high-quality education.
