Doddridge County Elementary School

Summary:

Doddridge County Elementary School is a public elementary school located in West Union, West Virginia, serving grades 1-4 with an enrollment of around 300 students. The school is part of the Doddridge County Schools district, which is ranked 14 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Doddridge County Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in both mathematics and English language arts assessments across grades 3 and 4, with 69.8% of 3rd graders and 63.9% of 4th graders proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.2% and 47.6% respectively. The school also performs exceptionally well for several student subgroups, including female students, male students, white students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, often ranking in the top 50-100 elementary schools in the state. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 11.1 students per teacher, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance.

While Doddridge County Elementary School outperforms the state averages, some nearby schools, such as Arthur I. Boreman Elementary and Salem Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics. This suggests that the Doddridge County and surrounding regions have a strong focus on education and are producing high-achieving students. However, the high percentage of white students at Doddridge County Elementary School, as well as the nearby schools, raises questions about the diversity and inclusiveness of the educational environment in the region, which warrants further exploration.

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.
