Duval Pk-8

Summary:

Duval Pk-8 is an elementary school located in Griffithsville, West Virginia, serving grades PK-8 with a student population of 351. The school is part of the Lincoln County Schools district, which is ranked 44 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Duval Pk-8 stands out for its extremely homogeneous student population, with over 99% of students identifying as White, which is significantly higher than the racial diversity seen in nearby schools and the state as a whole. Academically, the school consistently ranks among the lowest-performing elementary schools in West Virginia, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science that are significantly below the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school also struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, White students, students with disabilities, and economically disadvantaged students, with rankings for these subgroups in the bottom 20-30% of West Virginia elementary schools.

Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio and spending approximately $12,477 per student, which is higher than the spending levels of some nearby schools but still below the state average, Duval Pk-8 is underperforming compared to its peers. This suggests that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to support student learning. When compared to nearby schools, such as Hurricane Town Elementary, Brookview Elementary, and Culloden Elementary School, as well as schools in neighboring districts like Putnam County Schools and Kanawha County Schools, it becomes clear that Duval Pk-8 is an outlier in terms of its academic performance and student outcomes.

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.
