Summary:
Preston County Schools in West Virginia has only one middle school, Central Preston Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 42nd out of 168 West Virginia middle schools in 2022-2023 to 56th out of 168 in 2024-2025, and its star rating has also decreased from 4 stars to 3 stars during this time.
Central Preston Middle School's test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally below the Preston County Schools district average and the West Virginia state average across most grade levels and years. The school's spending per student for the 2018-2019 school year was $10,090, and it had a student-teacher ratio of 14:1 in the 2023-2024 school year. However, the data does not provide the free/reduced lunch rate for the school, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population.
With only one middle school in the district, there are no other schools to directly compare Central Preston Middle School to within the same district. This lack of comparative data limits the ability to identify the school's relative strengths and weaknesses. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of the school's performance and identify potential areas for improvement, additional data and analysis would be beneficial, such as trends in student enrollment, attendance, and graduation rates, as well as demographic information and teacher qualifications.
