High Schools in Morgan County Schools

Summary:

The Morgan County Schools district in West Virginia is home to two high schools: Berkeley Springs High School and Paw Paw High School. While both schools have achieved similar four-year graduation rates, their academic performance and statewide rankings present a stark contrast.

Berkeley Springs High School has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 39th in 2023-2024 to 101st in 2022-2023. The school's 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and below-average proficiency rates in mathematics and English Language Arts suggest that it may be struggling to provide a high-quality education to its 605 students. In contrast, Paw Paw High School, with only 77 students, has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing high schools in West Virginia, with a 0-star rating and significantly lower proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the state and district averages.

While Paw Paw High School spends more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio than Berkeley Springs High School, these factors do not appear to translate into better academic outcomes. The data highlights the need for further investigation and targeted interventions to address the challenges faced by both schools and ensure that all students in the Morgan County Schools district receive a high-quality education.
