Summary:
The Martin County West School District has only one middle school, Martin County West Junior High, which serves grades 7-8 and has a total enrollment of 95 students. The school's student population is predominantly White, with a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Martin County West Junior High stands out for its higher-than-average Math proficiency rates, particularly in 7th grade. However, the school's Reading and Science proficiency rates are lower than the state average, with 8th-grade Science scores being significantly below the state average. This suggests the school may need to focus more resources and attention on improving student performance in these subject areas.
Despite the school's strengths in Math, its overall statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 315 out of 520 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 274 out of 545 in 2023-2024. This trend indicates the school is not keeping pace with improvements in other schools across the state and may need to implement strategies to improve its overall academic performance, particularly for economically disadvantaged students.
