Summary:
The city of Charmco, West Virginia is home to a single public high school, Greenbrier West High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 404 students. While the school benefits from higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes compared to state averages, it has consistently underperformed on standardized tests in mathematics, English language arts, and science, with its statewide ranking dropping from 108th out of 112 high schools in 2021-2022 to 62nd out of 112 in 2023-2024.
Greenbrier West High School's student population is overwhelmingly white, with 96.04% of students identifying as such, and very low representation of minority groups. This lack of diversity may limit the educational experiences and perspectives available to students. Additionally, the school's academic performance has declined over the past three years, suggesting that simply increasing funding or reducing class sizes may not be enough to improve student outcomes, and that other factors, such as curriculum, teaching quality, or school leadership, may need to be addressed.
Overall, the analysis of Greenbrier County Schools highlights the need for the school and district to closely examine the factors contributing to the school's declining academic performance and lack of diversity, and to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these challenges and provide a high-quality education for all students.
