Summary:

Cabell County Schools serves about 10,000 students across 25 schools in West Virginia, including 18 elementary schools, 4 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, with the district ranking 7th out of 54 districts statewide.

The district's standout performers are concentrated in the Barboursville and eastern corridor. Hite Saunders Elementary School is the crown jewel, ranking 10th statewide with 84.5% math proficiency—more than double the state average—and 71.1% ELA proficiency. Salt Rock Elementary School made the most dramatic leap, jumping from 67th to 14th place in one year with 78.2% math proficiency. Village of Barboursville Elementary School and Meadows Elementary School also exceed 60% proficiency in both math and ELA. At the secondary level, Cabell Midland High School leads with a 95.2% graduation rate and ranks 12th statewide, while Barboursville Middle School is the top middle school at 35th statewide.

However, significant gaps exist. Spring Hill Elementary School and Guyandotte Elementary School rank in the bottom 12th percentile with ELA proficiency below 40%, creating a 40+ point gap versus Hite Saunders. Middle school math is a district-wide concern—Huntington East Middle School (29.6%) and Huntington Middle School (33.1%) fall below the state average. The district's science programs are a clear strength, outperforming state averages by 8-9 points at both 5th and 8th grades. Huntington High School trails Cabell Midland with an 86.5% graduation rate, and both high schools show ELA proficiency roughly double their math proficiency. Crossroads Academy, the alternative school, spends $25,958 per student with a 3.9:1 ratio but has no test scores available.
