Summary:
Summers County Schools in West Virginia is home to a single high school, the 6-12 Summers County Comprehensive High School. Located in an economically disadvantaged area, the school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 46th out of 112 schools in 2023-2024 to 83rd out of 112 in 2022-2023. The school's rating has also varied, from 3 stars out of 5 in 2023-2024 to just 1 star out of 5 the previous year.
Academically, the school's performance on standardized tests is mixed, with 11th-grade students scoring below the state average in English Language Arts (48.9% proficiency vs. 55.1% state average) and Science (23.8% proficiency vs. 27.8% state average), but slightly above the state average in Mathematics (21.3% proficiency vs. 20.3% state average). The school's four-year graduation rate, however, is relatively high at 92.5% in the 2023-2024 school year.
Despite the school's challenges, it does have some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.9 in 2023-2024. This smaller class size may allow for more individualized attention and support for students. However, the lack of specific data on free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to determine the full extent of the socioeconomic challenges faced by the Summers County Schools district, which is ranked 53rd out of 55 districts in West Virginia.
