Summary:
The 25286 zip code in West Virginia is home to a single school, Walton Elementary/Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 241 students. The school is part of the Roane County Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Walton Elementary/Middle School's student population is predominantly White (98.76%), with very low representation of other racial and ethnic groups. The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA), is generally below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 46.4%, compared to the district's 41.2% and the state's 53.2%. This trend of declining performance is concerning, as the school's 3rd grade Mathematics proficiency rate dropped from 66.7% in the previous year.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $11,790 in the 2018-2019 school year and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1, the data suggests that factors beyond funding and resources may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, community engagement, and support services could provide valuable insights to help improve student outcomes at Walton Elementary/Middle School.
