Martin Elementary School

Summary:

Martin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Parkersburg, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 207. The school is part of the Wood County Schools district, which is ranked 6th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Martin Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.89% in 2022-2023) compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Criss Elementary School and Jefferson Elementary Center. The school's academic performance has been mixed, with its statewide ranking improving from 0 stars in 2014-2015 to 4 stars in 2023-2024, but its proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts have been inconsistent, sometimes lagging behind the Wood County Schools district averages.

Martin Elementary School has shown strong performance for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and English Language Learners, but its performance for other subgroups, such as students with disabilities and low socioeconomic status, has been more inconsistent. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 7.7 to 8.8 students per teacher in recent years, which is lower than the ratios of many nearby schools. However, the school faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement across all student subgroups, and continued efforts to address the needs of its diverse student population may be beneficial in improving the overall educational outcomes at Martin 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.
