Iaeger Elementary School

Summary:

Iaeger Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 229 students in grades PK-5 in Iaeger, West Virginia, which is part of the McDowell County Schools district, ranked 55 out of 55 districts in the state with a 0-star rating.

Iaeger Elementary School stands out for its lack of racial diversity, with over 99% of its students being White, significantly higher than nearby schools like Kimball Elementary (73.58% White) and Welch Elementary (75.91% White). Academically, the school consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of West Virginia elementary schools, with performance on state assessments below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school also struggles to support its student subgroups, with rankings for female, male, White, and low socioeconomic status students all falling in the bottom third of the state, and its special education students performing particularly poorly.

Despite spending more per student ($14,720) than some nearby schools like Bradshaw Elementary ($13,953) and Welch Elementary ($13,978), Iaeger Elementary School's academic performance has steadily declined over the past decade, suggesting that funding may not be the sole factor driving its challenges. Addressing the school's lack of diversity and its struggles to support its most vulnerable student populations will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students of Iaeger Elementary School.

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.
