Summary

Musselman High School in Inwood, WV, is the largest high school in Berkeley County Schools, serving 1,725 students in grades 9-12. The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 27th out of 105 high schools statewide, its best performance in recent years. What truly sets Musselman apart is its exceptional graduation rate of 98%, which has stayed above that mark for five straight years—far exceeding the state average and outpacing nearby Washington High School (87.8%) and Jefferson High School (92.8%) in neighboring Jefferson County.

Academically, Musselman leads its district peers in math proficiency, with 25.2% of 11th graders scoring proficient compared to just 10.2% at Spring Mills High School and 11.8% at Martinsburg High School. English Language Arts scores have been remarkably stable, hovering around 55% proficiency—above both district and state averages. The school also stands out for its success with Hispanic students, ranking 1st statewide in that category for the 2024-2025 school year and maintaining top-2 rankings for three consecutive years. While Hedgesville High School narrowly edges Musselman in overall state ranking, Musselman's consistent 4-star ratings and strong graduation outcomes make it a compelling choice for families.

However, the data reveals areas needing attention. Performance among students from low socioeconomic backgrounds dropped dramatically from the 87th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 15th percentile in 2025-2026, and special education students saw a similar decline. These shifts suggest support systems may be inconsistent for students with additional learning needs. There's also a notable gender gap, with female students outperforming males by 11 percentile points. Despite these challenges, Musselman's overall trajectory is positive—its jump from 44th to 27th statewide represents one of the largest single-year improvements in the school's history. For parents, Musselman offers a large, well-resourced environment with strong graduation outcomes and standout math instruction, though families with students receiving special education services or those from lower-income backgrounds may want to ask about targeted support programs.
