Summary

Frankfort High School is a public high school located in Ridgeley, West Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 476 students. The school is part of the Mineral County Schools district, which is ranked 36 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frankfort High School has consistently ranked among the top 25 high schools in West Virginia over the past several years, with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance on state assessments is notably higher than the district and state averages, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA) and Science. Frankfort High School has also maintained high graduation rates, with a 4-year graduation rate of over 92% in recent years, which is above the state average. However, the school's performance for special education and low socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom half of the state.

This suggests that Frankfort High School may be a more desirable option for families in the region seeking a high-performing public high school. The school's leadership and the Mineral County Schools district should continue to prioritize addressing the performance gaps among certain student subgroups to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students.
