Jumping Branch Elementary consistently outperforms the Summers County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in academic proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels.

While Jumping Branch Elementary's academic performance is a standout, the school's demographic makeup is predominantly white, with 94.9% of students identifying as white.

However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.9 and per-student spending of $12,359 in 2018-2019 suggest that the school is well-resourced and able to provide a high-quality education to its students.
