Summary:
The city of Rock, West Virginia is home to two schools: Montcalm High School and Montcalm Elementary School. Both schools are part of the Mercer County Schools district, which is ranked 24 out of 55 districts in West Virginia.
Montcalm High School consistently underperforms the Mercer County Schools and West Virginia state averages in proficiency rates for core academic subjects, ranking 94 out of 112 high schools in the state. The school has a relatively high percentage of white students (95.04%) and spent $11,449 per student in the 2018-2019 school year. In contrast, Montcalm Elementary School outperformed the district and state in 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency, but underperformed in 4th-grade and 6th-grade mathematics.
Both schools have similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios, suggesting that these factors alone may not be the primary drivers of their academic performance. The data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the schools' academic outcomes, as well as the potential impact of the schools' demographic composition on student experiences and perspectives.
