Summary:
The city of White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, is home to a single elementary school, White Sulphur Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance, as measured by test scores and rankings, has been declining in recent years, with the school consistently ranking in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools.
White Sulphur Elementary has a predominantly white student population, with 86.94% of students identifying as white. However, the school also has a relatively diverse student body, with 6.23% African American, 1.78% Hispanic, and 0.3% Asian students. The school's test scores are generally below the Greenbrier County Schools and West Virginia state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with the 3rd grade math proficiency rate being 36.8%, compared to 50.7% for the district and 53.2% for the state.
While the school's spending per student is higher than the national average, and its student-teacher ratio is slightly lower than the national average, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance. The lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to determine if socioeconomic factors are contributing to the school's underperformance. Overall, the analysis suggests that White Sulphur Elementary is facing significant challenges in meeting the academic needs of its students, and further investigation into the root causes of the school's declining performance could provide valuable insights for potential improvements.
