Summary

Wheeling Park High School in Wheeling, WV, is the largest high school in the area, serving 1,427 students in grades 9-12 within the top-ranked Ohio County Schools district—ranked 4th out of 54 districts in West Virginia.

This school is a consistent academic powerhouse. It has ranked in the top 20 in the state for the past decade, currently sitting at 16th place (85th percentile) with a peak of 10th place just last year. Test scores are strong across the board, especially in math, where 31.7% of students are proficient—more than 11 points above the state average. The school also does an excellent job supporting students from low-income backgrounds, ranking 24th in the state for that group. When compared to nearby John Marshall High School, Wheeling Park holds the edge in math, though John Marshall posts higher English and science scores and a better graduation rate (97.9% vs. 89.8%). Notably, Wheeling Park spends less per student ($14,992) than all nearby schools, including Brooke High School and Cameron High School, while achieving superior results—a sign of strong efficiency.

However, there are areas of concern. The graduation rate has declined from a high of 97.9% to 89.8%, now below the state average of 92.8%. Support for special education students has also been inconsistent, swinging from a 4-star ranking to 2 stars and back to 3 stars over the past three years. The school's most significant challenge is its performance with African American students, where it ranked last among 18 comparable schools in the most recent year—a sharp decline from prior years. While the school excels for many students, these trends suggest that ensuring equitable outcomes for all learners is the next frontier for this otherwise excellent institution.

What people are saying

by a parent
Monday, January 28, 2013

Mediocre, self-centered teachers without a serious degree of engagement with the students, and an inability to apply modern pedagogy. Many lower class students with behavior problems in respect, courtesy and beligerance. Principal is not engaged. Overemphasis on Fine Arts with a tremendous naivety to realize Fine Arts do not pay the bills or create a leadership position for a country; science, math and engineering do and they are insufficiently emphasized. Less than 50% of the students are proficient in math, reading, science by WESTEST. How in the hell can School Digger give this school such a high rating. School Digger has absolutely no credibility.
