Summary:
The Logan County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 17 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 47 out of 55 districts in the state and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating significant room for improvement.
However, a few schools in the district stand out as bright spots. Logan Elementary School ranks 94 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and is rated 4 stars, with strong test scores in math and English Language Arts. Similarly, South Man Elementary School and Buffalo Elementary School also rank in the top 100 elementary schools in the state and have 4-star ratings, indicating they are outperforming the district and state averages. These schools' success may be attributed to factors like higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratios.
In contrast, the Logan County Schools district as a whole struggles with low test scores, with only 5.9% of 11th graders proficient or better in math, 41.1% proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 14.5% proficient or better in science. The district's racial makeup is also predominantly white, ranging from 86.67% to 99.65% white students, which may be a contributing factor to the overall low performance. Further analysis of factors like free/reduced lunch rates and teacher quality could provide additional insights into the drivers of school performance in the district.
