The data reveals a mix of high-performing and lower-performing schools, with some standout institutions like Frankfort High School and Burlington Primary leading the way in academic achievement.

Frankfort High School consistently ranks among the top 25 high schools in West Virginia, with a 4-star rating and a 92.5% four-year graduation rate.

Addressing these disparities and sharing best practices between high-performing and lower-performing schools could be crucial for improving overall district performance and ensuring equity for all students in Mineral County Schools.
