Marshall County Schools

Summary:

The Marshall County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 3 high schools, and 1 alternative school. The data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the district, with some schools standing out as strong performers while others struggle to meet state and district averages.

Cameron High School and Hilltop Elementary School are two of the district's top-performing schools. Cameron High School ranks 9th out of 111 West Virginia high schools and has a 5-star rating, with 69.4% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 30.6% in Mathematics. Hilltop Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of West Virginia elementary schools, with students excelling in both Mathematics and English Language Arts.

In contrast, some schools in the district, such as Moundsville Middle School and Central Elementary School, struggle with student proficiency well below state and district averages. The wide range in spending per student, from $12,356 at Washington Lands Elementary to $28,893 at Gateway Achievement Center, suggests potential equity concerns that may be impacting student achievement across the district.
