Summary

Moundsville Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 6-8 in Moundsville, West Virginia, with 402 students. The school is part of the Marshall County Schools district, which is ranked 20 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, Moundsville Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia middle schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the recent school years.

Academically, Moundsville Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and its own district averages on standardized tests. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science were all significantly lower than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its special education students performing relatively well but its female, male, white, and low socioeconomic status students all performing in the bottom half of the state.

Interestingly, Moundsville Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student compared to the nearby Triadelphia Middle School, Wheeling Middle School, Bridge Street Middle School, and Sherrard Middle School, all of which are part of the higher-performing Ohio County Schools district. This suggests that the school may benefit from learning from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing schools and re-evaluating its resource allocation to better address the specific needs of its student population.
