Summary:
The city of Shinnston, West Virginia is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school, all part of the Harrison County Schools district. The standout performer in the district is Lincoln Middle School, which has consistently ranked among the top 50 middle schools in West Virginia and earned a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts, are above the district and state averages.
While not the top performer, Lincoln High School has shown improvement in its rankings, moving from the bottom quartile of West Virginia high schools to the middle quartile. The school's 92.5% four-year graduation rate is a positive indicator. In contrast, Big Elm Elementary School has mixed performance, with some grades and subjects above the district and state averages, while others are below.
Across the schools, student-teacher ratios range from 11.8 to 14.1, which are relatively low and could contribute to the schools' academic performance. Spending per student also falls within the district and state averages, ranging from $11,711 to $13,140. While the data provides a detailed look at the schools in Shinnston, further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors contributing to the schools' performance and identify any areas for improvement.
