Summary

Morgantown High School in Morgantown, WV, is a large, top-performing public high school serving 1,754 students in grades 9-12 within the Monongalia County Schools district, and it is consistently ranked among the very best schools in the state.

This school is an academic powerhouse. It is currently ranked #4 out of 105 high schools in West Virginia, a position it has held with remarkable consistency—earning a 5-star rating in 9 of the last 10 years. The academic results are striking when compared to nearby schools. For example, 11th-grade math proficiency at Morgantown High is 41.8%, which is more than double the rate at University High School (34.3%) and nearly five times higher than Preston High School (8.5%). In English Language Arts, Morgantown High's 67.9% proficiency rate leads the entire region, surpassing even its closest competitor, University High, by nearly 7 points. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending less per student ($10,723) than many peers like East Fairmont High School ($13,141) while delivering far superior outcomes.

While the overall picture is one of sustained excellence, there are a few areas for parents to note. The school's graduation rate of 95.3% is strong and improving, though it trails the district average of 96.2%. Performance for special education students has been somewhat inconsistent, and there was a notable decline in results for multi-racial students in the most recent testing year. However, the school shows exceptional effectiveness with many student groups, including African American students (ranked 1st in the state) and English Language Learners. With a student-teacher ratio of 18:1, Morgantown High manages to combine elite academics with efficient resource use, making it a standout choice for families in the Morgantown area.
