Summary

Westside High School in Clear Fork, WV, is a public high school serving 509 students in grades 9-12 within the Wyoming County Schools district. This school is on a clear upward trajectory, having climbed from the bottom 5th percentile in state rankings just a few years ago to the 41st percentile in the most recent school year—a remarkable jump of 31 places in a single year. For parents, this signals a school that is actively improving and where recent initiatives appear to be making a real difference for students.

Academically, Westside shows a distinct pattern of strengths and challenges. English Language Arts is a clear bright spot, with 42.7% of 11th graders proficient—nearly matching the district average and only about 8.5 points below the state. The graduation rate is another point of pride at 92.6%, right in line with the state average, showing the school successfully keeps students on track. However, math proficiency remains a persistent weakness at just 15.5%, well below the state average of 20.6%, and science scores also lag. The school also faces a significant gender gap, with male students outperforming female students by a wide margin in recent years—a trend that runs opposite to what is typically seen in most schools. Most critically, special education students rank in the 11th percentile statewide, a 0-star rating that has persisted for three consecutive years and represents an urgent equity gap.

Compared to nearby schools, Westside is holding its own. It is now virtually tied with district rival Wyoming County East High School (41st vs. 39th percentile), and it achieves this with a higher student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending—suggesting efficient operations. Westside far outperforms Man Senior High School in every academic subject, with ELA proficiency 16 points higher and science proficiency more than triple. It is also in a completely different academic tier than Mount View High School, which ranks in the bottom 1st percentile. For parents, Westside represents a school making genuine progress, though one that still has important work ahead in math and in serving all student groups equitably.
