Summary:
The city of Moorefield, West Virginia is home to 4 schools serving grades K-12, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While Moorefield Middle School stands out as a top-performing institution in the region, the district's other schools, Moorefield High School and Moorefield Intermediate School, have struggled to match that level of achievement.
Moorefield Middle School has consistently ranked among the top 32 middle schools in West Virginia, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores in math, English language arts, and science are generally higher than the Hardy County and statewide averages. In contrast, Moorefield High School and Moorefield Intermediate School have struggled, ranking in the bottom half and bottom third of West Virginia schools, respectively, and earning only 1-2 star ratings from SchoolDigger.
The racial makeup of the Moorefield schools is predominantly white, ranging from 79-82% across the 4 schools. This lack of diversity could be an area for the district to examine and address. Additionally, the data reveals significant achievement gaps between the middle school and the high school/intermediate school, suggesting the need for the district to closely examine instructional practices and resource allocation to ensure all students are receiving a high-quality education.
