Summary:
Leading Creek Elementary is a public elementary school in Linn, West Virginia, serving 130 students in grades PK-6 as part of the Lewis County Schools district, which is ranked 53 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Leading Creek Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces several challenges. Its student population is overwhelmingly white (99.23%) compared to the more diverse surrounding schools, and its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science were below the district and state averages. Additionally, Leading Creek Elementary's rankings among West Virginia elementary schools for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, white students, and students with low socioeconomic status, are generally in the lower half of the state, with some rankings as low as the bottom 10%.
When compared to nearby schools, such as Doddridge County Elementary School and Roanoke Elementary School, Leading Creek Elementary consistently underperforms in academic measures. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past few years, from 202 out of 380 West Virginia elementary schools in 2020-2021 to 317 out of 368 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 2 to 1. These factors, combined with the school's high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (54.81% in 2020-2021), suggest that Leading Creek Elementary faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education for its students.
