West McDowell Middle School

Summary:

West McDowell Middle School is a public middle school serving 605 students in grades 6-8 in Marion, North Carolina, which is part of the McDowell County Schools district.

West McDowell Middle School generally performs better than the district and state on standardized tests, particularly in mathematics and science. The school stands out in its performance for certain racial subgroups, with its African American students ranking 82 out of 550 middle schools in the state and its homeless student population ranking 4th and 5th out of all North Carolina middle schools in recent years. However, the school's overall statewide ranking has declined in recent years, from 387 out of 786 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 500 out of 793 in 2023-2024, suggesting it may be struggling to keep pace with improvements at other schools. The school also faces challenges with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

When compared to nearby schools, West McDowell Middle School generally performs better than East McDowell Middle School, which is also in the McDowell County Schools district, but lags behind the higher-performing Foothills Community School, a public magnet school in the same district. This suggests there may be opportunities for West McDowell Middle School to learn from the practices and strategies of the higher-performing Foothills Community School.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

This school is an excellent school. I think this because this is a more friendly atmosphere than other middle schools around McDowell County. Also, the teachers care and they help the students and fellow staff when they ask for help. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
