Summary

Washington Irving Middle School is a public middle school located in Clarksburg, West Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 541 students. The school is part of the Harrison County Schools district, which is ranked 19 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's relatively strong performance, Washington Irving Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia middle schools, with rankings ranging from 81 to 139 out of 170-176 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state assessments is significantly below the district and state averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science all trailing behind their counterparts. The school's performance also varies greatly across different student subgroups, indicating the need for more targeted support and resource allocation to address the unique needs of all its students.

While Washington Irving Middle School has a relatively high per-student spending of $13,034, its academic performance remains poor, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating and utilizing its resources to improve student outcomes. The school's underperformance compared to nearby middle schools, such as Lincoln Middle School and Bridgeport Middle School, highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific areas and student subgroups that are struggling the most.
