Summary:
The zip code 26384 contains only one school, Leading Creek Elementary, a public elementary school serving grades PK-6. With a total enrollment of 130 students, the school's student population is predominantly White (99.23%), with a small percentage of Native American students (0.77%). However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is consistently below the state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels.
For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Leading Creek Elementary's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 29.4%, compared to the state average of 53.2% and the Lewis County Schools district average of 44.4%. Similarly, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate was 17.7%, significantly lower than the state average of 32.3% and the district average of 23.3%. This suggests that the school may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students.
Despite having a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.1, which is below the state average, Leading Creek Elementary's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,579, indicating potential resource allocation challenges that could be impacting the school's ability to improve academic outcomes. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has been steadily declining, from 238 out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 317 out of 368 in 2023-2024, further highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address the school's performance concerns.
