Marlinton Elementary School

Summary:

Marlinton Elementary School is a public elementary school in Marlinton, West Virginia, serving 203 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Pocahontas County Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Academically, Marlinton Elementary has shown a mixed performance compared to state and district averages. While the school outperformed the state in 3rd and 4th grade Math and ELA, it underperformed in 5th grade subjects. The school's ranking has also fluctuated significantly, from 88th out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 332nd out of 383 in 2018-2019. Interestingly, male students and White students have generally outperformed the overall student population, suggesting the school may need to focus on addressing the needs of different subgroups.

Despite its academic challenges, Marlinton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending. However, the school's extremely homogeneous student population, with over 99% of students identifying as White, is notable and may impact the school's cultural and educational environment. As the school works to maintain consistent academic excellence, it will be important for the Pocahontas County Schools district to closely monitor Marlinton Elementary's performance and provide targeted support to ensure all students have the opportunity to succeed.

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.
