Union Educational Complex

Summary:

Union Educational Complex is an alternative public school serving grades PK-12 in Mount Storm, West Virginia, with a total enrollment of 186 students as of the 2022-2023 school year. The school is part of the Grant County Schools district, which is ranked 26th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Union Educational Complex has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5 students per teacher, the school consistently underperforms the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 0% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics in the 2023-2024 school year. Additionally, over 51% of the school's students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a higher level of economic disadvantage compared to the state average. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White, with 96.77% of students identifying as such in the current school year, and the overall enrollment has remained stable over the past three years.

Interestingly, the Mineral County Alternative Program, located approximately 18.77 miles from Union Educational Complex, serves a much smaller student population of only 6 students but has an even lower student-teacher ratio of 1.5, which may contribute to more personalized instruction and support for its students. While Union Educational Complex faces challenges in academic performance, its relatively low student-teacher ratio may provide opportunities for more personalized learning and support for its students.

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.
