The city of Gerrardstown, West Virginia is home to three schools: two elementary schools (Mountain Ridge Intermediate and Gerrardstown Elementary School) and one middle school (Mountain Ridge Middle School). These schools serve a predominantly white student population, with minority students making up a relatively small percentage of the overall enrollment.
Among the standout schools, Mountain Ridge Middle School stands out for its large student population and higher percentage of minority students, but its performance on state assessments is relatively low compared to the state and district averages.

The smallest school, Gerrardstown Elementary School, has a similar racial makeup to Mountain Ridge Intermediate, but the data provided does not include information about its performance on state assessments.
Overall, the schools in Gerrardstown, West Virginia face some challenges, including declining performance and rankings, racial disparities, and inconsistent outcomes across grade levels. Additionally, the lack of high school options in the community may limit the educational opportunities available to students. To address these issues, the schools and the Berkeley County Schools district may need to implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes and ensure equitable access to high-quality educational opportunities for all students.
