High Schools in Boone County Schools

Boone County Schools in West Virginia is home to three high schools: Scott High School, Sherman High School, and Van Junior/Senior High School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and are part of the Boone County Schools district.

Among the three high schools, Van Junior/Senior High School stands out as the top performer. The school ranks 29th out of 112 West Virginia high schools, with a 4-star rating, and has the highest proficiency rates in both math and English language arts across multiple grade levels, significantly outperforming the Boone County Schools and West Virginia state averages. Additionally, Van Junior/Senior High School has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 10.8 and the highest per-student spending at $13,696.

In contrast, Scott High School and Sherman High School struggle with math proficiency, with only around 5-7% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better, compared to the state average of 20.3%. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support in math education at these schools. The significant variation in per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the three schools also indicates that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and distribution to ensure more equitable funding and staffing across all schools.
