Brooke County Schools

Summary:

The Brooke County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools (2 primary and 2 intermediate), 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district's schools show a range of academic performance, with the Brooke Intermediate School South and Brooke Intermediate School North standing out as the top performers, consistently ranking in the top 25-35% of West Virginia elementary schools. In contrast, Brooke High School struggles academically, with very low math proficiency rates.

The district's student population is predominantly white, ranging from 89% to 95% across the schools. While the elementary and middle schools generally perform at or above state averages in math and ELA proficiency, the high school lags behind, with only 5.8% of students proficient in math in 2023-2024. Spending per student varies widely, from $11,289 at Brooke Middle School to $15,416 at Brooke High School, suggesting potential inequities in resource allocation.

Overall, the Brooke County Schools district has some strong-performing elementary schools, but faces challenges in improving academic achievement, particularly at the high school level. Continued analysis of the data, including the missing free/reduced lunch information, could help identify areas for targeted improvement and resource allocation to support student success across all grade levels.
