Summary

Oak Hill High in Oak Hill, WV, serves approximately 1,057 students in grades 9-12 and is the largest high school in Fayette County Schools. Over the past decade, the school has undergone a remarkable transformation, climbing from the bottom 11% of West Virginia high schools to the top 40% statewide—a 51-percentile-point improvement that has accelerated dramatically in the last four years.

The school's most striking strength is its performance with female students, who ranked in the top 20% statewide in 2025-2026—a stunning 48-percentile-point jump in just two years. Oak Hill also excels in supporting special education students, ranking in the top quarter of all West Virginia high schools for this group. However, there is a significant and growing gender gap: female students perform at the 80th percentile while male students rank at only the 39th percentile. Academically, math proficiency has risen from 15.7% to 21.3% in three years, now slightly exceeding both district and state averages, while ELA proficiency has improved to 47.4%, though it still trails the state average of 51.2%. The school's graduation rate of 90.6% is a concern, having declined from 93.2% and now trailing both district (92.1%) and state (92.8%) averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Oak Hill is competitive despite being in a lower-ranked district. It outperforms Midland Trail High in overall ranking (40th vs. 52nd) and nearly matches it in test scores, though Midland Trail boasts a notably higher graduation rate (95.6%). Against Liberty High School and Woodrow Wilson High School—both in the higher-ranked Raleigh County Schools—Oak Hill holds its own, nearly matching them in math and science proficiency. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.8 and per-student spending of $12,495, the school appears to be using its resources effectively, delivering results comparable to schools in more advantaged districts.
