Pleasant View Elementary School

Summary:

Pleasant View Elementary School is a public elementary school in Hedgesville, West Virginia, serving 121 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Morgan County Schools district, which is ranked 28 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

While Pleasant View Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of white students (93.39%) compared to the surrounding schools, it has consistently underperformed academically. The school's 3rd-grade Math proficiency rate was just 41.2% in 2023-2024, compared to 59% for the district and 53.2% for the state. This underperformance has led to a significant decline in the school's statewide ranking, dropping from 29th out of 422 West Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 219th out of 368 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, with Hispanic students outperforming their peers in 5th-grade Math.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Warm Springs Intermediate and Tomahawk Intermediate, Pleasant View Elementary stands out for its lack of diversity, lower academic performance, and declining statewide ranking. The school's relatively high free and reduced lunch rate of 45.53% also suggests that it serves a greater proportion of economically disadvantaged students, which may be contributing to the academic challenges the school is facing.

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.

Open Quote Staffed by bigots and gossip-ridden junkies. Staff is poorly skilled and there are no appropriate resources to keep the children engaged in grade appropriate work. Typical small town school/politics... they are at their best. Close Quote

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.
