Summary

Berkeley Springs High School in Berkeley Springs, WV, serves 582 students in grades 9-12 and is the larger of the two high schools in the Morgan County Schools district, which sits in the scenic Eastern Panhandle near the Potomac River.

This school is a study in contrasts. On one hand, it has achieved a phenomenal turnaround in graduation rates, climbing from 83.1% in 2020-2021 to an impressive 99.2% in 2024-2025—now exceeding the state average of 92.8%. It also stands out for its exceptional support of Special Education students, consistently ranking in the top quartile statewide, including a 4th-place finish out of 89 schools in 2023-2024. However, academic proficiency tells a more challenging story. While English Language Arts proficiency (47.7%) is near the state average, Math proficiency hovers around just 15%, and Science has dropped sharply from 30.1% to 18.5% in two years. This creates a paradox: nearly all students graduate, but many may not be meeting state benchmarks in core subjects.

There are also notable gaps in performance. Female students rank 76th statewide (27th percentile) compared to male students at 49th (53rd percentile), a 49-place gap that has widened in recent years. Similarly, students from low socio-economic backgrounds have seen a dramatic decline, falling from the 67th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 21st percentile in 2025-2026. Compared to nearby schools, Berkeley Springs outperforms Paw Paw High School in the same district, but lags significantly behind Hedgesville High School (14 miles away), which ranks 23rd statewide and beats Berkeley Springs in every subject. It performs comparably to Martinsburg High School and Spring Mills High School in ELA and Science, though its Math proficiency is slightly better than both. With a per-student spend of $11,625 and a 15.3:1 student-teacher ratio, the school achieves strong graduation outcomes but faces clear challenges in raising academic proficiency across all student groups.

This school has really gone down hill. The administration is lacking. They simply don’t deal with any issues. There are constantly fights. The bathrooms are not only filled with vapes but now it’s moved to weed since they never handle it and don’t even attempt to.

There are very few teachers left that actually teach or have an interest to. They do not prepare the students for college in any way. In fact the children with above average grades are left to slip the the cracks and completely on their own due to the amount of below average students being so high.

My child is reported absent consistently when in attendance. I receive calls from her several times a week that she’s unattended in classes without a teacher or any adult present. I do not feel my child is safe while there and have now made other arrangements for the rest of high school education. If I had known then what I know now I would have homeschooled from day one of moving here. Close Quote

BSHS is a small high school with a lot to offer in spite of the lack of government resources. The teachers are caring, like to challenge the students, and dedicated to their jobs. The principals are always around for the student body as well as the teachers. Most students are very respectful and many of high achieving students. An education is only as good as the student's dedication and drive and BSHS pushes its students to achieve greatness! Close Quote
