Summary:
The city of Pineville, West Virginia is home to two schools: Pineville Elementary School and Pineville Middle School, both part of the Wyoming County Schools district. While Pineville Elementary has consistently ranked among the top elementary schools in the state, Pineville Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking in recent years.
Pineville Elementary School stands out as the academic leader, reaching as high as 89th out of 355 elementary schools in West Virginia and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts for 3rd and 4th grades are significantly higher than the county and state averages, and it maintains a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5, which may contribute to its strong performance.
In contrast, Pineville Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 49th out of 168 West Virginia middle schools in 2022-2023 to 96th out of 168 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. The school's test scores lag behind the state and county averages, indicating that it may be facing challenges in maintaining academic excellence. Further investigation into the underlying causes, such as resource allocation, teacher quality, or curriculum issues, could help identify areas for improvement.
