Fayetteville Pk-8

Summary:

Fayetteville Pk-8 is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Fayetteville, West Virginia, with a student population of 587 that is predominantly White. However, the school has consistently underperformed compared to other schools in the state, ranking in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools and receiving 1- or 2-star ratings from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Fayetteville Pk-8 students have struggled with proficiency in mathematics, English language arts, and science, with most grade levels performing below the state and district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 15-27% of Fayetteville Pk-8 students were proficient in mathematics, compared to 30-53% statewide. The school has also struggled to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, White students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. In contrast, nearby schools like Ansted Elementary and MT Lookout Elementary School have generally outperformed Fayetteville Pk-8 on academic assessments.

Fayetteville Pk-8 has also experienced a decrease in racial diversity, with the percentage of White students increasing from 94.53% in 2020-2021 to 93.53% in 2022-2023, in contrast to some nearby schools like Cranberry-Prosperity Elementary and Stanaford Elementary School, which have more racially diverse student populations. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, reaching over 52% in 2020-2021, and the student-teacher ratio has increased from 14.4 in 2020-2021 to 15.2 in 2022-2023, suggesting potential challenges in supporting individual student needs.

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.
