Monroe County Schools

Summary:

The Monroe County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The data reveals a mixed picture of school performance, with some standout schools and areas for improvement.

James Monroe High School emerges as the strongest performer, ranking 33rd out of 112 West Virginia high schools and earning a 4-star rating. The school's 11th-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 55.3% exceeds the state average of 50.8%. In contrast, Mountain View Elementary & Middle School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 236th to 286th out of 368 elementary schools, and its test scores have also declined in several grade levels.

The data also reveals a stark contrast in elementary school performance, with Peterstown Elementary School ranked 352nd out of 368 and performing significantly below state averages, while Peterstown Middle School performs relatively well, ranking 86th out of 169 West Virginia middle schools and earning a 2-star rating. The lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess potential equity concerns within the district.
