Best Public Schools in Pine Grove, WV

Summary:

The city of Pine Grove, West Virginia has only one public high school, Valley High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 139 students. The school is part of the Wetzel County Schools district, which is ranked 40 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Valley High School has a student population that is 100% White, with no racial or ethnic diversity. The school's performance on state assessments is below the county and state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science for 11th-grade students. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $22,353 and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1, these resources do not seem to be translating into stronger academic performance. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranking 88 out of 112 high schools in 2023-2024 and 2022-2023, and 102 out of 112 in 2021-2022.

The lack of diversity and the academic performance concerns at Valley High School suggest that there may be opportunities for improvement in the school's educational outcomes. Additionally, the lack of information on free and reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and whether there are any equity issues that need to be addressed. Comparing Valley High School's data to other schools in the district or state could provide additional context and insights to guide potential improvement efforts.
