Wahama Junior/Senior High School

Public Grades 7-12

Summary

Wahama Junior/Senior High School is a small, rural school in Mason, WV, serving 397 students in grades 7 through 12 along the Ohio River. Part of Mason County Schools, the school has shown remarkable improvement this year, rebounding to a 2-star rating after a challenging previous year.

The most impressive news for parents is the school's graduation rate, which jumped from 81.4% to an exceptional 98.6%—now exceeding both the district and state averages by nearly 6 percentage points. Wahama also shines in 7th grade English Language Arts, with 57.4% of students proficient, outperforming the state average by more than 11 points. Eighth graders show strength in science (27% proficiency) compared to the district average of 19.2%. However, the school's performance has been volatile, swinging from a top-10 statewide ranking in 2016-2017 to near-bottom rankings in 2024-2025. With only about 66 students per grade, a single strong or weak class can dramatically shift results from year to year, so it's wise to look at multi-year trends rather than any single year's data.

Compared to Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School, the only other school in Mason County, Wahama edges ahead in overall ELA proficiency (49% vs. 42.5%), 8th grade science (27% vs. 16%), and graduation rate (98.6% vs. 97.2%). The contrast with Ravenswood High School, just 15 miles away in Jackson County Schools (the state's #1 ranked district), highlights what's possible: Ravenswood posts dramatically higher 11th grade proficiency rates in math, ELA, and science. While Wahama's recent rebound is encouraging, the gap with Ravenswood suggests that district-level investments and consistent instructional practices could help Wahama return to its former top-10 status.
