Summary:
Tyler County Schools is served by a single middle school, Tyler Consolidated Middle School, which enrolls 311 students in grades 6-8 in the rural community of Sistersville, WV.
Tyler Consolidated Middle School has shown steady improvement over the past three years, climbing from a 3-star rating (58th out of 169 schools) in 2023-2024 to a 4-star rating (45th out of 161 schools) in 2025-2026. The school now ranks in the 72nd percentile statewide, and its district ranks 8th out of 54 districts in West Virginia. In mathematics, the school outperforms the state average by nearly 5 percentage points (44.2% vs. 39.4%), with 7th graders particularly strong at 49.6% proficiency—almost 13 points above the state. Science proficiency is also a highlight, with 8th graders scoring 38.5% compared to the state's 29.3%, and the school improved by nearly 3 points year-over-year in this subject.
However, English Language Arts tells a different story. Proficiency declines as students advance: 48.8% in 6th grade, 45.9% in 7th grade, and 42.2% in 8th grade—the only subject-grade combination where the school falls below the state average. Math performance also varies notably by grade, with a 12.4-point swing between 6th (37.2%) and 7th (49.6%) grades. The school's favorable 12.4:1 student-teacher ratio supports personalized instruction, and its overall trajectory is positive. For parents, the key takeaway is that this school excels in math and science, but 8th grade ELA is the primary area needing attention. The district's proficiency rates exceed the school's in both math and ELA, which may reflect broader grade-level data in district calculations.
