Summary

Wildwood Middle School in Shenandoah Junction, WV, serves 429 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the highly-rated Jefferson County Schools district. While the school enjoys a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9:1 and higher-than-average per-student spending, its academic performance lags significantly behind its same-district neighbors.

In the most recent school year, Wildwood's proficiency rates trail its Jefferson County peers by 8-20 percentage points across all subjects. For example, math proficiency stands at 33.4% compared to 48.1% at Harpers Ferry Middle School and 41.3% at Shepherdstown Middle School. Similarly, English Language Arts proficiency is 39.5% versus 59.1% at Harpers Ferry and 60.1% at Shepherdstown. Interestingly, Wildwood's performance more closely aligns with schools in the neighboring Berkeley County Schools district, such as Mountain Ridge Middle School and Musselman Middle School, despite being in a higher-ranked district.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Wildwood ranks exceptionally well in supporting homeless students (85th percentile statewide) and shows pockets of strength with male students. The school also demonstrates that students can experience academic growth during their time there—7th and 8th grade math scores are much closer to district averages than 6th grade scores. However, the school's overall state ranking has been volatile, dropping from a 4-star rating in 2018-2019 to its current 2-star status. With the highest per-student spending ($14,592) among all comparison schools yet middle-of-the-pack results, parents may want to ask the school leadership about how resources are being deployed and what plans exist to close the achievement gap with neighboring schools like Charles Town Middle School.

This is a school where good things are happening. We have an administration, faculty and staff committed to providing quality education and the proof is in the results. Our students are engaging bright young people. Close Quote

I have been at Wildwood since 2011 and it has changed over the years. Since 2012, school has been a terrible experience. There are fights at least once a week, graffiti everywhere, horrible teachers and administration, and they make the good kids suffer what the bad kids do. There are rules that a very little amount of students listen to and we almost never do anything fun. If I would give advice to parents that are transferring their kids to this school, my recommendation is: No. Some of the teachers do not get anything done and on the Westest, students do poorly on it.
