Village of Barboursville Elementary Sch

Village of Barboursville Elementary serves 614 students across pre-kindergarten through fifth grade in Barboursville, West Virginia. The school earns a composite score of 9.4 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — driven by academic and growth scores of 9.7 each. Those marks place it 12th among all 635 public schools in West Virginia, outperforming 98% of schools statewide.

That ranking holds at the elementary level too: among the state's 407 elementary schools, it still lands 12th. The 14.3-to-1 student-teacher ratio keeps classrooms at a manageable size that supports direct instruction. The 9.7 growth score carries particular weight: it signals that students are advancing beyond expected benchmarks year over year, not simply arriving with prior advantages.

Strong academic achievement and measurable progress together are a rarer combination than either metric alone suggests — and Village of Barboursville delivers both. Among the five public schools in Barboursville, this school ranks second. For families weighing elementary options in the area, it stands as one of the clearest high-performers available — and a legitimate top-tier choice by any statewide comparison.
