Summary

Doddridge County Middle School is a public middle school located in West Union, West Virginia, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 325 students. The school is part of the Doddridge County Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Doddridge County Middle School has shown a mixed performance in academic assessments compared to the state average and nearby schools like Tyler Consolidated Middle School and Ritchie County Middle. While the school's mathematics proficiency rates have been generally higher than the state average, its English Language Arts and science proficiency rates have been more variable. The school has also shown disparities in performance among different student subgroups, with male students, special education, and low-income students performing worse than their peers.

However, Doddridge County Middle School may have some resource advantages, with a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools. The school's fluctuating academic performance and subgroup disparities suggest the need for targeted interventions and support programs to ensure all students have equitable educational opportunities and maintain consistent academic achievement.
