Summary:

The five high schools in Harrison County Schools serve grades 9-12 and enroll a total of 2,744 students, with the district ranking 17th out of 54 in West Virginia and earning a 4-star rating.

Bridgeport High School is the clear standout, ranking #2 in the state with a 5-star rating and dramatically outperforming every other school in the district. Bridgeport posts 44.8% math proficiency, 72.4% ELA proficiency, and 45.9% science proficiency—all far above district and state averages—while also maintaining a 98.7% graduation rate. Interestingly, Bridgeport spends the least per student ($11,755) yet achieves the best results, while South Harrison High School spends the most ($15,853) but falls below district averages in every subject. Liberty High School is the area of greatest concern, with a math proficiency of just 2.7%—far below the state average of 20.6%—despite having the most favorable student-teacher ratio in the district at 9.9:1.

When you remove Bridgeport from the equation, the other four schools—Robert C Byrd High School, Lincoln High School, South Harrison, and Liberty—all fall below state averages in math and science. Math is the universal weakness across the district, with even Bridgeport only reaching 44.8% proficiency compared to its 72.4% ELA score. Graduation rates are strong everywhere, ranging from 94% at Robert C Byrd to a perfect 100% at Lincoln, yet this success doesn't translate to academic proficiency, suggesting a disconnect between graduation requirements and rigorous standards. South Harrison showed remarkable improvement, jumping from 109th to 29th in the state rankings between 2023-2024 and 2024-2025, though it slipped to 53rd the following year. The district essentially offers two distinct experiences: Bridgeport's elite, efficient model versus the other four schools struggling to meet state averages, particularly in math.
