Lewis County Schools


Summary:

The Lewis County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole faces significant challenges, with a ranking of 53rd out of 55 districts in the state, a few standout schools within the district are worth highlighting.

Jane Lew Elementary School and Roanoke Elementary School are the top-performing elementary schools in the district, ranking 188th and 190th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools, respectively. These schools boast strong test scores, with proficiency rates above the district and state averages in both math and English language arts. In contrast, Leading Creek Elementary stands out for its exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 10.1, the lowest among the schools in the data set.

Across the district, there are stark differences in academic performance, with some schools vastly outperforming others on state assessments. This suggests that underlying factors, such as socioeconomic status, teacher quality, or resource allocation, may be contributing to these disparities. Additionally, the student populations in these schools are overwhelmingly white, with very low percentages of minority students, which may limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives. While the Lewis County Schools district faces significant challenges, the successes of the top-performing schools provide a glimmer of hope and a potential path forward for improving educational outcomes for all students in the area.
