Summary:
The Cabell County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 4 middle schools serving grades 6-8. Based on the data analysis, two schools stand out as top performers in the district: Barboursville Middle School and Milton Middle School. These schools consistently outperform the Cabell County and West Virginia averages in both math and English language arts proficiency, earning them 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
In contrast, Huntington Middle School and Huntington East Middle School generally lag behind the district and state averages in these academic areas. The student populations at Barboursville and Milton are also more racially homogeneous, with over 89% and 95% White students, respectively, compared to Huntington Middle's more diverse student body.
Interestingly, the schools with the highest spending per student, Huntington East and Huntington Middle, do not necessarily have the best academic performance. Barboursville and Milton, the top-performing schools, have lower spending per student than the other two. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality and school leadership, may play a significant role in driving student achievement in the Cabell County Schools district.
