Middle Schools in Harrison County Schools

The Harrison County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 6 middle schools serving grades 6-8, with a range of academic performance and student demographics. Bridgeport Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, consistently ranking among the best in the state, while Washington Irving Middle School lags behind with the lowest test scores and a 1-star rating.

Bridgeport Middle School's students significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 47.8% to 68% across grade levels and subject areas. In contrast, Washington Irving Middle School struggles, with only 12.7% to 41% of students scoring proficient or better. The racial diversity of the student populations also varies, with Bridgeport Middle School being the most diverse and Lincoln Middle School having the least diverse student body.

Spending per student and student-teacher ratios do not appear to be directly correlated with academic performance, as Mountaineer Middle School, which has the highest spending and lowest student-teacher ratio, is not the top-performing school. The recent decline in performance at South Harrison Middle School is also a concern, and the lack of data for the newest school, Evolution Middle School, makes it difficult to assess its role in the district. Overall, the data highlights significant differences in academic achievement and resource allocation across the middle schools in the Harrison County Schools district.
