Summary

Frankfort Middle School is a public middle school located in Ridgeley, West Virginia, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 499 students. The school is part of the Mineral County Schools district, which is ranked 36 out of 55 districts in the state.

While Frankfort Middle School previously ranked as high as 18th out of 173 West Virginia middle schools in 2014-2015, its statewide ranking has since declined to 110th out of 168 in 2024-2025. The school's performance on state assessments is generally below the state and district averages, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts 5-10 percentage points lower than the state averages. Compared to nearby schools, Frankfort Middle School performs better than Keyser Middle School, but lags behind Romney Middle School in the neighboring Hampshire County district.

Frankfort Middle School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. While male students and white students perform relatively better, female students, African American students, multi-racial students, special education students, and low socioeconomic status students all perform significantly worse than their peers statewide. Despite having higher per-student spending than nearby schools, Frankfort Middle School's academic performance and student-teacher ratio suggest that the school may be facing challenges in effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement.
