NMS has two meaningful dress-up days coming up! ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸 September 11: Wear red, white, and blue as we honor and remember. ❤️ October 8: Wear red to help NMS raise awareness and show support for students with dyslexia. Let’s come together as an Eagle family to show remembrance, understanding, and support! 🦅💙💛

We are so proud of our fourth graders for putting the habits into action and choosing to be kind! 💙💛 Last week, our students wore hats in support of a community member battling cancer. Through this thoughtful act, they demonstrated empathy, synergy, and what it truly means to “Be Awesome. Be the Difference!” Our Eagles continue to show that leadership begins with caring for others. 🦅

Please join us for an amazing year!!

🎉 WV STATE RANKINGS ARE IN! 🎉 We are especially proud of our strong support for students. NMS third-grade students also achieved an outstanding 83.1% proficiency rate in math—far exceeding the state average of 54.4%! As a large PK–8 school, our structure differs from many of the elementary schools included in these rankings, making this remarkable growth even more meaningful since there Is no direct correlation. This progress reflects the dedication of our entire school community. Congratulations to our hardworking students, exceptional staff, and supportive families! When we work together, our Eagles SOAR! 🦅 “New Martinsville School in New Martinsville, WV, is a large PK-8 school serving 837 students in the Wetzel County Schools district—more than double the size of any nearby school. This school has become a true success story, climbing from the bottom quartile of West Virginia elementary schools (ranked 273rd in 2021-2022) to the upper third (ranked 111th in 2025-2026, earning 3 stars). That's a remarkable jump of 162 positions in just four years, making it one of the most improved schools in the region. What makes this school stand out is its exceptional support for students who often face the biggest challenges. New Martinsville ranks in the 79th percentile statewide for Special Education students and the 75th percentile for students from low-income families—both areas where many schools struggle. The school also shines in early elementary math, with 3rd graders achieving an 83.1% proficiency rate, far exceeding the state average of 54.4%. The school’s competition are those schools that only serve through 5th grade, making the comparison less direct.” https://www.schooldigger.com/go/WV/schools/0156001127/school.aspx
