Summary:
Grant County Schools in West Virginia has only one high school, Petersburg High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 62nd out of 112 West Virginia high schools in 2022-2023 to 36th out of 111 in 2024-2025, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Petersburg High School's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year was 92.5%, which is higher than the state average. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school outperformed the Grant County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in 7th-grade Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency, but its performance was lower than the district and state in other areas, such as Mathematics and Science proficiency for 8th and 11th grades.
The school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,294, and the student-teacher ratio for the 2023-2024 school year was 13.8, which is a relatively low ratio and may indicate adequate staffing resources. However, the data does not provide information about the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, which could be an indicator of the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting the school's performance.
