Best High Schools in Coal City, WV

Summary:

The city of Coal City, West Virginia is home to a single high school, Independence High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance lags behind both the Raleigh County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages in key areas like mathematics, English language arts, and science proficiency.

Independence High School's 11th grade proficiency rates are 17.9% in mathematics, 49.3% in English language arts, and 20.2% in science, all of which fall short of the district and state averages. The school has also seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 102nd out of 113 high schools in 2020-2021 to 63rd out of 112 high schools in 2022-2023, and its SchoolDigger rating has decreased from 1 star to 2 stars during this period. Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $11,452, these academic performance indicators suggest that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and student support to raise student achievement.
