Marion County Schools

Summary:

The Marion County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 19 schools, including 11 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 3 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 9 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several standout schools emerge from the data. White Hall Elementary School ranks 9th out of 368 elementary schools in West Virginia and has exceptional test scores, with over 70% of students proficient in math and English Language Arts. Fairview Middle School ranks 8th out of 169 middle schools in the state and also has consistently high test scores across all grade levels. Jayenne Elementary School and Monongah Middle School also stand out with strong academic performance.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance within the district, with some schools struggling with lower proficiency rates and rankings. There also appears to be a correlation between the racial diversity of a school and its academic performance, with more diverse schools tending to have higher test scores. This raises questions about equity and access to quality education within the district, and further investigation into the underlying factors contributing to these disparities could provide valuable insights.
