Gilbert Pk8 has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools, with a ranking between 303-350 out of 380-383 schools in recent years. Its performance on state assessments is below the state and district averages across most grade levels and subjects, particularly for male students, white students, special education students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. The school spends $11,460 per student, slightly higher than the state average, but has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 17.7 compared to nearby schools.

When compared to nearby schools in the Wyoming County and Mingo County districts, Gilbert Pk8 generally performs worse on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates in both math and English language arts. The school's performance has also been declining over the years, with a significant drop in the percentage of students proficient in math and English language arts from 2020-2021 to 2022-2023. The school's lack of diversity, with over 98% of students identifying as white, and its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (over 57%) may be contributing factors to its academic challenges.

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.
