Glade Creek Elementary School

Summary:

Glade Creek Elementary School is a public elementary school in Summersville, West Virginia, serving 152 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Nicholas County Schools district.

Glade Creek Elementary stands out for its unique racial makeup, with 100% of its students being White, which is significantly different from the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like MT Lookout Elementary and MT Nebo Elementary. However, Glade Creek has consistently performed well on state assessments, with a high percentage of students proficient or better in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science, often exceeding the scores of the Nicholas County Schools district and the state of West Virginia. The school also maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 17.8 over the past few years, suggesting a more personalized learning environment.

While Glade Creek Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, the school has seen a decrease in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 44.74% in 2020-2021 to an unspecified percentage in the following years. This could indicate a shift in the socioeconomic status of the student population, which may have implications for resource allocation and support services provided by the school. Overall, Glade Creek Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution within the Nicholas County Schools district, with a unique demographic profile and strong academic outcomes.

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.
