Summary:
The city of Shady Spring, West Virginia is home to three schools serving students from elementary through high school: Shady Spring High, Shady Spring Middle School, and Shady Spring Elementary. These schools are part of the Raleigh County Schools district.
Among the standout schools, Shady Spring High and Shady Spring Middle School have consistently high state-wide rankings and ratings, with both schools earning 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. These two schools also outperformed the Raleigh County Schools and West Virginia state averages in several key academic proficiency metrics, particularly in English Language Arts. In contrast, Shady Spring Elementary has seen a decline in its state-wide ranking and rating, and its test scores show some areas of underperformance compared to the district and state averages.
Across the three schools, student enrollment ranges from 414 to 828, and the student population is predominantly white, making up over 94% of the student body at each school. The schools have similar spending per student, ranging from $10,318 to $11,443, and student-teacher ratios that vary from 13.4 to 15.9. While Shady Spring High and Shady Spring Middle School demonstrate strong academic performance, the district may want to consider ways to address the lack of diversity and the potential areas for improvement at Shady Spring Elementary.
