Summary:
The city of Oceana, West Virginia is home to two schools: Berlin Mckinney Elementary School (grades PK-4) and Oceana Middle School (grades 5-8). Both schools are performing significantly below the state averages on academic measures, with low proficiency rates in math, English language arts, and science. The schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 97% of students being White at both schools.
According to the data, neither Berlin Mckinney Elementary nor Oceana Middle School can be considered standout schools. Berlin Mckinney Elementary is ranked 319 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools and has a 1-star rating, while Oceana Middle School is ranked 111 out of 169 West Virginia middle schools and has a 2-star rating. The schools' spending per student is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes. The student-teacher ratios at both schools are relatively low, but this advantage is not leading to improved performance.
Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and quality of the schools in the Oceana area. Both Berlin Mckinney Elementary School and Oceana Middle School are struggling to meet state standards and provide a high-quality education to their students. Further investigation may be needed to understand the root causes of these issues and identify potential areas for improvement within the Wyoming County Schools district.
