Summary

Spring Valley High School is a public high school in Huntington, WV, serving 946 students in grades 9-12 as part of Wayne County Schools. The school has shown a positive trajectory recently, climbing to 46th in the state (56th percentile, 3 stars) for 2025-2026—its second-best ranking in six years—though its performance has been notably volatile over the past decade, ranging from 103rd to 19th place.

Spring Valley demonstrates genuine pockets of excellence that stand out. Most remarkably, the school ranked 2nd in the state for homeless students for two consecutive years (2024-2025 and 2025-2026), a dramatic improvement from a 13th-place finish just two years prior. The school also achieved a stunning 2nd-place statewide ranking for special education students in 2024-2025, though this dropped to 40th the following year. Performance with low-income students is improving steadily, moving from 82nd to 44th over three years. However, a significant gender gap emerged in 2025-2026, with male students ranking 23rd (78th percentile) versus female students at 80th (23rd percentile)—a reversal from the prior year when girls outperformed boys.

Mathematics remains the school's biggest academic challenge, with only 16.2% of 11th graders proficient compared to 20.6% statewide. When comparing nearby options, Cabell Midland High School (12th in state) outperforms Spring Valley across all subjects, including a 10-point gap in math proficiency. Huntington High School (21st) also leads in math and science, though Spring Valley is competitive in English. Within its own district, Wayne High School edges out Spring Valley in ELA and science but lags significantly in math. The graduation rate of 87.0% trails the state average of 92.8%, and the school's per-student spending ($10,670) is lower than most nearby high schools.
