Summary

Bridge Street Middle School is a high-performing public middle school in Wheeling, West Virginia, serving grades 6-8 and part of the Ohio County Schools district, which is ranked 1 out of 55 districts in the state.

Bridge Street Middle School has consistently outperformed the state and district averages in both mathematics and English language arts assessments, with 59.5% of its 8th-grade students scoring proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54% for the Ohio County Schools district and 43.4% for the state. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.9 to 11.3 over the past three years, which is lower than the nearby Wheeling Middle School (9.2) and Triadelphia Middle School (12.7).

While Bridge Street Middle School's overall performance is exceptional, the nearby Triadelphia Middle School stands out as an even higher performer, ranking 11th out of 168 West Virginia middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year. This suggests that the Ohio County Schools district has multiple high-performing middle schools, which could be an asset for families in the area. However, Bridge Street Middle School may benefit from further efforts to support the academic achievement of special education and low-income students, as their performance is relatively lower compared to other subgroups.
