Summary

Musselman Middle School serves 651 students in grades 6-8 in Bunker Hill, WV, part of Berkeley County Schools, and currently holds a 2-star rating, ranking 99th out of 161 middle schools statewide.

One of the most notable trends at Musselman is its significant decline in state ranking over the past decade—from a 5-star school ranked 14th in 2015-2016 to its current mid-pack position. However, the school shows clear strengths with specific student groups. Musselman ranks 1st in the state for Hispanic student performance (5 stars) and 7th for African American students (4 stars), suggesting effective support systems for these learners. The school also demonstrates an interesting math pattern: proficiency improves as students advance, with 8th graders scoring 38.6% proficient—well above both the district (28.8%) and state (34.2%) averages. Science scores also show promise, slightly exceeding state averages. When compared to nearby Mountain Ridge Middle School, just 2.22 miles away, Musselman has similar math proficiency (32.6% vs. 32.1%) but lags in English Language Arts (38.9% vs. 45%), particularly in 6th grade where the gap is substantial (34.2% vs. 49.5%).

The school's most pressing concern involves students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who scored in the 15th percentile in 2024-2025—a stark contrast to the school's success with other groups. Special education performance has also declined, dropping from the 49th to 24th percentile over two years. Notably, Musselman spends $12,183 per student, higher than all Berkeley County peers, yet outcomes don't proportionally reflect this investment. The broader pattern shows Berkeley County Schools middle schools ranking in the bottom half statewide, while Jefferson County Schools like Harpers Ferry Middle (18th) and Shepherdstown Middle (36th) rank in the top quarter, suggesting district-level factors may be driving outcomes. For parents, Musselman offers strong support for Hispanic and African American students and improving math scores, but families of students needing economic or special education support may want to ask about targeted interventions.
