New River Intermediate

Q: Is New River Intermediate a good school?

New River Intermediate ranks 177 th of 368 West Virginia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

New River Intermediate is an elementary school located in Oak Hill, West Virginia, serving grades 3-5 with a student population of 581. It is part of the Fayette County Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

New River Intermediate has a predominantly white student population, with 87.78% of students identifying as white in the 2022-2023 school year. This is higher than the state average and the nearby schools in the Raleigh County district, which have more diverse student populations. The school's academic performance, as measured by the West Virginia Assessment, has been mixed compared to the state and district averages, with some areas of strength, such as 5th-grade ELA and science, and room for improvement in other areas like mathematics and English Language Arts. The school has shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, particularly African American and multi-racial students, but has struggled with the performance of other subgroups, such as special education and homeless students.

While New River Intermediate has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools in the Raleigh County district, it is in close proximity to several higher-performing schools in the Raleigh County district, such as Maxwell Hill Elementary and Stanaford Elementary School. This proximity may present opportunities for collaboration and shared best practices, which could help New River Intermediate continue to improve its academic performance and address the needs of all its student subgroups.

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.
