Gilmore Elementary School

Summary:

Gilmore Elementary School is a public elementary school in Sandyville, West Virginia, serving 159 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Gilmore Elementary consistently ranks among the top 20-30 elementary schools in West Virginia, currently ranking 16th out of 368 schools. The school's students outperform the state and district averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science assessments, with particularly strong performance in mathematics. For example, in 2023-2024, 75% of 3rd graders, 80% of 4th graders, and 85% of 5th graders were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to the state averages of 53.2%, 47.6%, and 39.1%, respectively. Gilmore Elementary's student population is predominantly White, with over 96% of students identifying as such, which is higher than the surrounding schools like Spencer Elementary School and Wirt County Primary Center.

While Gilmore Elementary's overall academic performance is commendable, the school's lower performance for students with special needs, ranking 260th out of 377 West Virginia elementary schools in this category for the 2016-2017 school year, indicates an area for improvement. Additionally, the school's homogeneous student population raises questions about its ability to serve and support a more diverse student body, as found in other Jackson County 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.
