Middle Schools in Mineral County Schools

The Mineral County Schools district in West Virginia is home to two middle schools: Keyser Middle School and Frankfort Middle School. While both schools serve students in grades 6-8, the data reveals significant differences in their academic performance and school characteristics.

Frankfort Middle School emerges as the standout school in the district, consistently outperforming Keyser Middle School and the overall Mineral County Schools district in test scores across subjects and grade levels. Frankfort Middle School also has a higher statewide ranking, a more homogeneous student population, and a lower student-teacher ratio compared to Keyser Middle School.

While both schools perform below the state averages in math, English language arts, and science proficiency, the data suggests that the significant performance gap between the two schools may be attributed to factors such as differences in teaching quality, resources, or the school environment. The racial composition and per-student spending differences between the schools may also play a role in their academic outcomes, and further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of these disparities and develop strategies to improve performance across all schools in the Mineral County Schools district.
