Summary:
The city of Dunmore, West Virginia is home to a single public high school, Pocahontas County High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 278 students. The school's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts closer to the state average but struggling in Mathematics and Science.
Pocahontas County Schools, the district that oversees Pocahontas County High School, is ranked 17th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and is rated 4 out of 5 stars. The high school itself has seen fluctuations in its statewide ranking, from 25th out of 112 high schools in 2021-2022 to 52nd out of 112 in 2022-2023 and 40th out of 112 in 2023-2024. This suggests the school's performance is variable from year to year, rather than consistently strong or weak.
Despite the mixed academic performance, Pocahontas County High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6 to 1 and a high per-student spending of $15,388 in the 2018-2019 school year. However, the school's student population is highly homogeneous, with 99.28% of students identifying as White, which may be a factor to consider in the school's academic and social environment.
