I have had children there since 1997, and my youngest just graduated 5th grade on June 3, 2009. What a sad day that was. I just wish this could be a K-12 school. All of my parenting prayers would be answered. We are going to miss it there, and I am sure the memories will live forever in our hearts!!!! We love you CPS!!!

I could not be more please with this school. The teachers are excellent. Solid leadership from the top as well. There is a 'small town' feel in this school and everyone has always been extremely nice. The school has a great academic reputation around the county as well. We are blessed to have a school like this in our town.

I have had Grandchildren in this school for about 12 years now. I have a grandchild in the 4th there now. I wish that all children had the chance to attend this school, because the time for your child to learn is there. The staff cares about each and every one individually; and is willing to give their time to see that your child is given the opportunity to be the best they can be. I personally would put this school up against any elementary, any where. Love to All

In 2009-2010 West Virginia used the West Virginia Educational Standards Test 2 (WESTEST 2) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 in reading, math and science, and grades 3 through 11 in social studies. The WESTEST 2 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of West Virginia.
