Summary

Winfield Middle School, located in Winfield, WV, is a public school serving 552 students in grades 6 through 8 within the highly-rated Putnam County Schools district.

Winfield Middle School is an academic powerhouse, consistently ranking among the top 10 middle schools in West Virginia for over a decade. In the most recent school year, it ranked 5th out of 161 middle schools statewide, placing it in the 97th percentile. The school's greatest strengths are in Mathematics and English Language Arts, where proficiency rates (63% and 62.7%, respectively) significantly outpace state averages. Notably, Winfield achieves exceptional results with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 96th percentile statewide for this subgroup. The school also operates efficiently, spending less per student than several nearby schools while delivering superior outcomes. Its closest competitor, Hurricane Middle School, ranks just one spot higher statewide, creating a healthy rivalry within the district. Winfield edges out Hurricane in Math, while Hurricane holds a notable advantage in 8th-grade Science.

While Winfield's overall profile is stellar, there are a couple of areas for improvement. Science proficiency in 8th grade (37.1%) lags behind the district average and is significantly lower than its peer school, Hurricane Middle School (46.6%). Additionally, while Special Education students perform above the state median, their outcomes are the school's weakest area relative to other subgroups. Despite these relative gaps, Winfield's decade-long consistency—never ranking below 9th in the state—demonstrates that its excellence is deeply embedded in the school's culture and practices. For families seeking a top-tier middle school experience with proven results in core subjects, Winfield Middle School is an outstanding choice.
