Morgan County Schools

The Morgan County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools. The data reveals several standout schools in the district, as well as some areas for improvement.

Warm Springs Intermediate School is a consistent high performer, ranking in the top half of West Virginia elementary schools over the past 3 years. Its strong test scores in math and English language arts exceed the district and state averages. Meanwhile, the small Paw Paw High School also stands out, placing in the top half of West Virginia high schools and boasting particularly strong English language arts scores. Despite its small size, Paw Paw Elementary School has shown some bright spots, such as high 4th grade math scores and 3rd grade English language arts scores that outperform the district and state.

However, the district as a whole struggles with math proficiency, particularly at the high school level, where 11th grade students score below the state average. The lack of free/reduced lunch data makes it difficult to analyze the relationship between socioeconomic status and academic performance. Additionally, the fluctuations in school rankings and test scores over the past 3 years suggest some instability or inconsistency in the academic programs and outcomes across the district. Continued monitoring and targeted interventions could help drive better outcomes for all students in the Morgan County Schools district.
