Ohio County Schools

Summary:

The Ohio County Schools district in West Virginia is home to 13 schools, including 9 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 1 high school. The district as a whole is ranked 2 out of 55 districts in the state and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Several schools stand out as top performers in the district. Wheeling Park High School ranks 10th out of 112 high schools in West Virginia and is rated 5 stars, with strong test scores in English Language Arts and Science. At the elementary level, Ritchie Elementary School and Madison Elementary School are both rated 5 stars and have exceptional math and English Language Arts scores, with over 80% of students proficient or better in these subjects. Woodsdale Elementary School also stands out, ranking 29th in the state and with strong test scores in math and English Language Arts.

However, the data reveals significant variation in academic performance across the schools in the district, even though they are all part of the same system. Factors beyond just district-level policies and resources appear to be influencing student outcomes. The schools with the highest percentages of minority students tend to have lower overall test scores compared to the more racially homogeneous schools, raising questions about equity and the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on student achievement. Understanding the practices and strategies employed at the consistently high-performing schools could provide valuable insights for the district as a whole.
