Summary

Frankfort High School in Ridgeley, WV, serves 488 students in grades 9-12 and is part of Mineral County Schools. This small-town high school has earned a 4-star rating for five consecutive years, making it a consistently strong choice for families in the area.

The most impressive thing about Frankfort is its graduation rate—99% or higher for five straight years, including a perfect 100% in 2021-2022. That's significantly better than the state average of 92.8%. Science is another standout subject, with 28.3% of 11th graders proficient compared to 23.6% statewide. While math scores are modest (19.5% proficient), they still beat the district average by nearly 6 points. Frankfort is clearly the academic leader in Mineral County, outperforming Keyser High School across every subject—including a 9-point science advantage and a 4.3-point graduation rate gap. It also beats nearby Hampshire Senior High School by 12 points in science and 7 points in graduation rate.

However, there are some concerns worth noting. English Language Arts proficiency dropped nearly 7 points in the last year, falling slightly below the state average. The school also shows dramatic swings in serving economically disadvantaged students—jumping from the 43rd to 81st percentile, then crashing to the 17th percentile in just two years. Special education students consistently rank below the state median. Additionally, while female students once ranked 10th statewide, their performance has declined significantly, closing the gender gap for the wrong reasons. Despite these challenges, Frankfort's overall ranking (30th in the state) and its strong graduation record make it a solid choice, though families with students in these subgroups may want to ask the school about specific support systems.
