Summary

Moorefield High School is a public high school in Moorefield, West Virginia, serving 492 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Hardy County Schools district, which is ranked 31 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Moorefield High School's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating from 19th to 105th out of West Virginia high schools in recent years. The school's SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 0 to 4 stars. Compared to the nearby East Hardy High School, which has a higher and more consistent ranking, Moorefield High School appears to be underperforming. The school's academic achievement, as measured by proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment, is generally below the state and district averages across subjects.

While Moorefield High School has maintained a relatively high four-year graduation rate, the school's performance varies across different student subgroups. The school's performance for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students is particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom 10% of West Virginia high schools in recent years. Additionally, Moorefield High School's per-student spending is lower than that of East Hardy High School, and its student-teacher ratio is higher. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and resource allocation could help Moorefield High School improve its academic outcomes and provide a more equitable education for all its students.
