Summary:
The 25854 zip code is home to a single public high school, Midland Trail High, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 631 students. The school is part of the Fayette County Schools district, which is ranked 44 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Midland Trail High has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 92.5% for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the Fayette County Schools district and the state of West Virginia, particularly in mathematics. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 16.5% of 11th-grade students at Midland Trail High were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 17.6% for the district and 20.3% for the state. The school's performance in English Language Arts and Science is also below the district and state averages.
Despite the school's lower-than-average academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $12,373 and a student-teacher ratio of 17.5 to 1. These factors suggest that the school may be struggling to effectively utilize its resources to improve student outcomes. Further investigation into the school's specific strategies, resources, and support systems may be necessary to identify areas for improvement and better support student success.
