Summary

Brooke Intermediate School South is a small school in Wellsburg, WV, serving just 121 students in grades 3 and 4 as part of the Brooke County Schools district.

This school has a clear strength in mathematics, with 61.8% of students proficient—about 20 percentage points higher than both the district and state averages. That's a standout result. The school also earns high marks for its work with special education students, ranking in the 85th percentile statewide, which is exceptional and suggests strong, targeted support systems are in place. Families with children who receive special education services may find this school particularly appealing. Another plus is the favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 9.8:1, which is better than its sister school, Brooke Intermediate School North (12.5:1), and most other nearby schools. The school has earned a 4-star rating and currently ranks in the 71st percentile statewide, a solid rebound from a dip a few years ago.

It's worth noting that performance can fluctuate year to year, largely because the school is so small—a single class of students can noticeably shift the numbers. While math is a clear highlight, English language arts scores (49.6% proficiency) are closer to the state average, so that's an area to watch. Also, while male students have shown dramatic improvement recently, female student performance has dipped, which is something the school may be addressing. Compared to nearby options like Middle Creek Elementary School or Woodsdale Elementary School, this school sits in the middle of the pack overall, but its special education outcomes and math proficiency are among the best in the region. For a school that only has students for two years, it makes a strong impression.
