The school is part of the Monongalia County Schools district, which is ranked 5th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Suncrest Elementary consistently ranks among the top 40-50 elementary schools in West Virginia, with a 4-5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels.

Additionally, Suncrest has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and multi-racial students.

While Suncrest Elementary's overall performance is excellent, the school's rankings for its African American and special education student subgroups are lower, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support. Furthermore, the school's relatively low percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, around 32-33%, may contribute to its academic success, as these students often have access to more resources and parental involvement. Compared to nearby schools like East Dale Elementary School and Rivesville Elementary/Middle School, Suncrest consistently outperforms in terms of academic proficiency rates and statewide rankings, making it a desirable choice for families seeking a high-performing elementary school in the Morgantown area.

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.
