Better than 11% of West Virginia high schools

Summary

Scott High School in Madison, WV, is a public high school serving 564 students in grades 9-12 within the Boone County Schools district, making it the largest of the district's three high schools.

Scott High School is currently facing significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics. Only 5.5% of 11th graders are proficient in math, which is dramatically below the state average of 20.6% and even below the district average of 7.9%. This represents a steep decline from just a few years ago when proficiency was closer to 15%. The school's overall state ranking has also dropped sharply, falling from the 52nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the bottom 10-15% of West Virginia high schools in recent years. When compared to nearby schools, Scott's math proficiency is notably lower than both Sherman High School (10.7%) and Van Junior/Senior High School (11.8%), despite Scott spending less per student ($9,613) and having a higher student-teacher ratio (18.1) than both of those schools.

There is a silver lining, however. Scott High School's English Language Arts (ELA) performance is a relative strength, with 44% of 11th graders proficient—only slightly below the state average of 51.2% and above the district average of 43.1%. This suggests the school has effective strategies in place for literacy that could potentially be applied to improve math and science outcomes. The school's support for special education students has also been inconsistent, ranging from the 77th percentile in 2024-2025 to the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026, indicating a need for more stable systems. For parents considering this school, it's important to know that while Scott faces serious challenges in STEM subjects, it demonstrates that improvement is possible, and the ELA program provides a foundation to build upon.
