Summary:
Zip code 24874 is home to a single middle school, Pineville Middle School, which serves grades 5 through 8 with an enrollment of 218 students in the Wyoming County Schools district.
For parents considering this school, the most important takeaway is that Pineville Middle School shows a dramatic split between its younger and older students. The 5th-grade class is a clear standout, with 63.4% proficiency in math—nearly 20 points above the state average—and 41.5% in science, also above the state. However, this strength fades quickly as students advance. By 7th grade, math proficiency plummets to just 19.5%, and 8th-grade science sits at a concerning 10.5%, less than half the district average. Overall, the school trails the state in all three core subjects: math (34.2% vs. 39.4%), English language arts (42.9% vs. 47.6%), and science (22.2% vs. 29.3%). The school’s state ranking has also declined sharply over three years, falling from 72nd (3 stars) in 2023-2024 to 124th (1 star) in 2025-2026.
On a positive note, the school maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.9 and spends over $11,500 per student, suggesting resources are not the primary issue. The 8th-grade ELA score of 41.8% is the closest to the state average among upper grades, hinting at a possible bright spot. The pattern here points to a school that excels with its youngest middle schoolers but struggles to sustain that success through 7th and 8th grade, likely due to curriculum transitions or engagement challenges. Parents should ask the school about specific interventions for upper-grade math and science, as these are the clearest areas of concern.
