Summary:
The 25981 zip code area has only one school, Crichton Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 96 students. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance is consistently below the district Greenbrier County Schools and the state of West Virginia averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science lagging behind.
Crichton Elementary's student population is predominantly white, with 97.92% of students identifying as such. This lack of diversity may be a concern, as it may not reflect the broader community. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $16,804 in the 2018-2019 school year is relatively high, but it is unclear how these resources are being utilized to support student learning and academic achievement.
The most concerning trend is the consistent decline in Crichton Elementary's statewide ranking, dropping from 363 out of 375 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 335 out of 368 in 2023-2024. This downward trajectory in academic performance warrants further investigation to identify the underlying factors and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
