Jane Lew Elementary School

Summary:

Jane Lew Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 244 students in grades PK-5 in the small town of Jane Lew, West Virginia. The school is part of the Lewis County Schools district, which is ranked 53 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Jane Lew Elementary stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students (93.44%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Victory Elementary (91.26% white) and North View Elementary (87.45% white). Academically, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Science, though it performs better in Mathematics. The school's special education students have performed better than the state average, but its low socioeconomic status students have struggled, ranking in the bottom third of West Virginia elementary schools for this subgroup.

When compared to other nearby elementary schools, Jane Lew Elementary stands out for its lack of diversity and lower academic performance. Schools like Victory Elementary, Tennerton Elementary, and West Milford Elementary have more diverse student populations and generally outperform Jane Lew Elementary on state assessments. The school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio have not translated into significantly better academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student performance and better serve the needs of its community.

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.
