Summary

Midland Trail High is a public high school located in Hico, West Virginia, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 631 students. The school is part of the Fayette County Schools district, which is ranked 44 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Midland Trail High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia high schools, typically between 69th and 95th out of 112-114 schools, and has maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment, is generally below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas, particularly in mathematics and science. The school's performance is also lower than the nearby Meadow Bridge High and Oak Hill High schools.

Despite these challenges, Midland Trail High has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, ranging from 90.5% to 93.6% over the past few years, which is comparable to the nearby Meadow Bridge High and Oak Hill High schools. However, the school's slightly lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratio compared to some nearby schools may suggest potential resource constraints that could be impacting the school's academic performance. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted strategies to improve student outcomes should be a priority for the school and district leadership.
