Summary:
The Barbour County Board Of Education district in West Virginia oversees 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with some schools performing significantly better than others on academic measures.
The standout schools in the district are Junior Elementary, a small elementary school with consistently high performance, and Belington Middle School, which ranks in the top 50% of West Virginia middle schools. In contrast, Philippi Middle School and Philip Barbour High School Complex have struggled, with low state rankings and proficiency rates well below the state averages.
Across the Barbour County Board Of Education district, student-teacher ratios are generally low, ranging from 11.8 to 15.3, but there are significant disparities in academic performance between the top-performing and lower-performing schools. Identifying the drivers of success at the high-performing schools and addressing the challenges at the underperforming schools could be key priorities for the district moving forward.
