Summary

Pineville Middle School in Pineville, WV, serves 218 students in grades 5-8 within the Wyoming County Schools district, with a student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1 and per-student spending of $11,543.

Pineville Middle School has experienced a dramatic decline in recent years, falling from a 4-star rating (77th percentile statewide) in 2020-2022 to a 1-star rating (23rd percentile) in 2025-2026. This downward trend is consistent across all student subgroups, with female students dropping from the 61st to 27th percentile and male students from 58th to 18th percentile over the past two years. The school shows a distinctive pattern where 5th graders perform exceptionally well—63.4% proficient in math, nearly 20 points above the state average—but proficiency plummets as students advance, with 7th grade math at just 19.5% and 8th grade science at 10.5%. Special education services have been particularly volatile, swinging from the 82nd percentile in 2022-2023 to the 7th percentile the following year.

Compared to nearby schools, Pineville still outperforms its immediate district peers in several areas. Its 5th grade math proficiency (63.4%) more than doubles Mullens Middle School's rate (23.5%), and its overall ELA proficiency (42.9%) exceeds Oceana Middle School's (34.5%). However, it lags significantly behind Trap Hill Middle School in Raleigh County Schools, which ranks in the 88th percentile with 47.7% math and 57.8% ELA proficiency. Pineville also has the lowest per-student spending among all comparison schools, spending roughly $800-$1,400 less per student than nearby options. While the school remains far above the crisis levels seen at Sandy River Middle School (1st percentile), the consistent downward trajectory across all grades and subgroups signals systemic challenges that need urgent attention.
