Summary:

Cottageville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 164 students in grades PK-5 in Cottageville, West Virginia. The school is part of the Jackson County Schools district, which is ranked 3rd out of 55 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating.

Cottageville Elementary stands out for its consistently strong academic performance, outperforming the state and district averages in mathematics and English language arts across multiple grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, 84.6% of 3rd graders, 65% of 4th graders, and 69.2% of 5th graders scored proficient or better in mathematics, compared to state averages of 53.2%, 47.6%, and 39.1%, respectively.

However, the school's student population is significantly less diverse than the state, with a very high percentage of white students, ranging from 90.24% to 97.3% over the past three school years.

While Cottageville Elementary's academic performance is impressive, nearby schools like Gilmore Elementary and Evans Elementary also demonstrate strong academic results and higher statewide rankings, suggesting that the Jackson County Schools district as a whole is providing quality educational opportunities. Additionally, Cottageville Elementary has seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate an improvement in the socioeconomic status of the school's population and could positively impact academic outcomes.

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.
