Mineral County Schools

The Mineral County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 13 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, 2 high schools, and 1 alternative school, serving a predominantly white student population. The data reveals significant disparities in academic performance across the district, with some standout schools like Frankfort High School and smaller elementary schools like Burlington Primary and Fountain Primary outperforming larger schools in the district.

Frankfort High School consistently ranks among the top 25% of high schools in West Virginia, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Science. Meanwhile, the smaller elementary schools, such as Burlington Primary and Fountain Primary, have exceptional academic results, with over 75% of 3rd graders proficient or better in Math. In contrast, larger schools like Keyser Middle School and Keyser High School have seen their performance decline in recent years.

The data also suggests potential equity concerns within the Mineral County Schools district, with a lack of racial diversity and high poverty levels indicated by free/reduced lunch rates. These factors, combined with the wide disparities in academic achievement, highlight the need for further examination and targeted support to ensure all students in the district have access to a high-quality education.
