Summary

Spring Mills High School in Martinsburg, WV, is a large public high school serving 1,544 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Berkeley County Schools district. The school has seen its overall state ranking decline significantly over the past five years, dropping from the 88th percentile in 2020-2021 to the 38th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year, placing it in the lower half of West Virginia high schools.

The school's most notable strength is its exceptional graduation rate. At 98.9% for the 2024-2025 school year, it outperforms the district (97.8%), the state (92.8%), and all nearby schools, including Musselman High School (98.0%), Hedgesville High School (97.2%), and Martinsburg High School (97.1%). This indicates a strong commitment to ensuring students complete their education. However, this success in retention contrasts sharply with academic performance. Only 10.2% of 11th graders are proficient in math, which is dramatically below the district average (17.3%) and state average (20.6%), and is the lowest among all comparable schools, even trailing Martinsburg High School (11.8%). Science proficiency (17.2%) also lags significantly behind the state average (23.6%), while English Language Arts (49.8%) is closer to the state average (51.2%).

Compared to regional peers, Spring Mills sits in the middle-to-lower tier academically, trailing Washington High School, Jefferson High School, and Hedgesville High School in core subjects. The school also shows inconsistent performance across student subgroups, ranking 80th out of 104 schools for low-socio-economic status students (a 1-star rating) while showing relative strength with other groups in certain years. For parents, this paints a picture of a school that excels at keeping students on track to graduate but faces significant challenges in math and science achievement, particularly for students from lower-income backgrounds.

Open Quote This school has FREEZING temperatures and I feel like the heat is broken. Teachers are awful at their jobs and deserve to be fired. Some seem to be on crak or even high. They don't even bother teaching students about scholarships or anything. the 9th graders are treated as 'invisible,' unlike seniors and juniors. For bullying, they just put up a sign and call 10 minutes for class once a week to talk about it sometimes. Don't go here, there many more reasons why this school is no bueno. Close Quote
