Summary:
The Barbour County Board Of Education district in West Virginia is home to a single public high school, Philip Barbour High School Complex, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance has been mixed, with fluctuations in its statewide ranking and uneven academic results across subject areas.
Philip Barbour High School Complex has seen its statewide ranking swing from 44th out of 112 high schools in 2021-2022 to 94th out of 112 in 2022-2023, before improving to 28th out of 112 in the current 2023-2024 school year. The school's academic performance is stronger in English Language Arts compared to Mathematics and Science, with proficiency rates that are sometimes above and sometimes below the state averages. The school's student population is predominantly White, with relatively low representation of other racial and ethnic groups.
While the school's spending per student of $10,654 (2018-2019) is in line with the state average, the impact of this funding on student outcomes is unclear. The district may need to focus on improving math and science instruction, as well as addressing the lack of racial diversity in the student population, to ensure equitable educational opportunities for all students in the Barbour County Board Of Education district.
