Summary:
Zip code 25411, encompassing the Berkeley Springs area of West Virginia, is home to a single middle school, Warm Springs Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 and is part of the Morgan County Schools district.
For parents considering this area, Warm Springs Middle School presents a mixed but encouraging profile. The school has shown remarkable momentum, jumping from a 2-star to a 4-star state rating in just one year, now ranking in the 71st percentile statewide. Its greatest academic strength lies in English Language Arts, where 51.7% of students are proficient—outperforming both the district (49.6%) and the state (47.6%). Science is another standout area, with 8th graders achieving a 40.9% proficiency rate, which is nearly 12 points above the state average and represents a dramatic 12-point improvement from the prior year. With a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.9, the school offers conditions for more individualized attention.
However, mathematics is a clear area of concern. Only 34.2% of students are proficient in math, trailing the state average of 39.4% by more than five points. The data also reveals a troubling "math slide": proficiency drops from 39% in 6th grade to just 29.4% by 8th grade, a steeper decline than the state trend. This suggests that while the school excels in literacy and science, it may need to implement targeted interventions to support students as math concepts become more complex. Overall, Warm Springs Middle School is a school on the rise, with clear strengths in ELA and science, but families should be aware of the math achievement gap when evaluating the school's fit for their child.
