Summary

Robert C Byrd High School in Clarksburg, WV, is a public high school serving 689 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Harrison County Schools district. The school has made a remarkable comeback in recent years, jumping from a low point in the 2023-2024 school year to a 4-star rating and a 32nd place ranking statewide in 2025-2026—a 45-percentile-point improvement that places it solidly in the top third of West Virginia high schools.

One of the school's standout strengths is its exceptional support for Special Education students, who ranked 26th in the state with a 4-star rating in 2025-2026, reflecting a robust and inclusive learning environment. The school also shows a notable pattern in gender performance: male students consistently outperform female students (70th vs. 58th percentile in 2025-2026), suggesting that targeted support for female learners could unlock even greater gains. English Language Arts is a clear academic strength, with proficiency rates (55.2%) consistently above the state average (51.2%). The graduation rate remains reliable at 94.0%, above the state average of 92.8%. However, a significant challenge exists for students from low socio-economic backgrounds, who ranked 76th in the state (27th percentile, 1 star)—a stark contrast to the school's overall performance, highlighting an achievement gap that needs attention.

Compared to nearby schools, Robert C Byrd is the second-strongest high school in Harrison County, ranking well ahead of Lincoln High School (61st) and South Harrison High School (53rd). It also far outpaces Liberty High School, located just 2.75 miles away, where Math proficiency was a mere 2.7% compared to Robert C Byrd's 17.8%. However, Bridgeport High School remains the clear academic leader in the area, consistently ranking in the top 2 statewide with significantly higher test scores. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.4 and per-student spending of $13,210, Robert C Byrd has solid resources—though these haven't yet translated into scores rivaling Bridgeport's, suggesting other factors drive that school's excellence.
