Summary:
Chapmanville, West Virginia (zip code 25508) is served by four schools in the Logan County Schools district, offering a complete PK-12 pathway for roughly 1,660 students across two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school.
For parents, the standout is Chapmanville Middle School, the only 3-star school in the area and the clear academic leader. It outperforms its district peers in every subject, with science proficiency (33.2%) actually exceeding the state average, and it has improved its state ranking for three consecutive years. In contrast, Chapmanville Regional High School posts very low test scores—just 8.7% math proficiency—but shines with a 98.1% graduation rate, well above state norms. Chapmanville Intermediate School shows a mixed profile: its math scores (40.1%) are above the state average, yet its reading scores lag significantly. Chapmanville Primary School serves PK-1 and has no test data, as expected for that age group.
The most striking trend is a dramatic "math cliff": proficiency drops from 40.1% in grades 3-4 to 35.3% in middle school, then plummets to 8.7% by 11th grade—a 78% decline. Science follows a similar pattern, with strong middle school results that don't carry into high school. The middle school's internal data also reveals that 5th graders outperform 7th and 8th graders, suggesting the transition to specialized instruction may be challenging. While the district ranks in the bottom 15% statewide, the middle school's upward trajectory and the high school's exceptional graduation rate offer genuine bright spots. Per-student spending is higher at lower grade levels ($12,833 at primary vs. $11,252 at high school), and student-teacher ratios are consistent across all schools (14.1-15.6).
