Martha Elementary consistently outperforms state and district averages in mathematics and English language arts assessments across all grade levels. In the 2023-2024 school year, 64.3% of 3rd graders, 53.6% of 4th graders, and 31% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 53.2%, 47.6%, and 39.1%, respectively. The school also excels in serving its special education and disabled student populations, ranking in the top 5% and 10% of West Virginia elementary schools for these subgroups. However, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (98.05%) compared to the state and district averages.

While Martha Elementary outperforms most nearby schools in the Cabell County district, including Cox Landing Elementary, Explorer Academy, and Guyandotte Elementary, schools like Hite Saunders Elementary and Village of Barboursville Elementary demonstrate even stronger academic performance. Additionally, Martha Elementary's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending may contribute to its success compared to nearby schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
