Summary

Mingo Central Comprehensive High School in Delbarton, WV, serves approximately 624 students in grades 9-12 as part of Mingo County Schools, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.5:1.

Mingo Central faces significant academic challenges, particularly in mathematics, where only 5.9% of 11th graders are proficient—a stark contrast to the 27.9% proficiency at Tug Valley High School, its same-district peer. English Language Arts proficiency (34.6%) also trails Tug Valley (52.9%) and the state average (51.2%), while science scores (15.4%) are slightly below both Tug Valley (17.7%) and Logan Senior High School (19.8%). The school's overall ranking places it in the bottom 10% of West Virginia high schools, though it outperforms Man Senior High School in both math and science. Despite these low test scores, the school maintains a strong graduation rate of 96.2%, exceeding both the district (95.5%) and state (92.8%) averages—a pattern that has held for four of the past five years.

The most encouraging story at Mingo Central is its remarkable turnaround with Special Education students. In 2025-2026, the school ranked 3rd out of 82 schools statewide (96th percentile, 5 stars) for this subgroup—a dramatic jump from the 30th percentile just one year earlier. This suggests targeted interventions are working exceptionally well for these students, and there may be lessons here that could benefit the general student population. The school also shows a widening gender gap, with both male and female students ranking in the bottom 10% statewide, though male students saw a sharper decline from the 41st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 9th percentile in 2025-2026. At $12,013 per student, Mingo Central spends less than Tug Valley ($15,079) but more than Logan Senior High ($11,578), raising questions about how effectively resources are being utilized given the significant achievement gap with its district counterpart.
