Summary

Van Junior/senior High School is a public high school serving grades 6-12 in Van, West Virginia, with 152 students. It is part of the Boone County Schools district, which is ranked 41 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

One of Van Junior/senior High School's key strengths is its consistently high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 85.1% to 94.1% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school's test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts are generally lower than the state and district averages. Interestingly, the school performs better than the district in Science assessments, with 11th-grade proficiency rates exceeding the district's scores. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.8 to 14.3, lower than the nearby Sherman High School and Scott High School in the Boone County district.

The school's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly over the years, from 3rd to 98th out of West Virginia high schools. Additionally, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with female students consistently outperforming male students and the school performing well with special education students and low socioeconomic status students in certain years. While Van Junior/senior High School spends more per student ($13,696) than the nearby schools in the Boone County district, there may be opportunities to improve academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and English Language Arts, to better align with state and district averages.
