Summary:
Pleasants County, West Virginia is home to a single middle school, Pleasants County Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school's academic performance has been a concern, with consistently low proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts compared to the state average. However, the school's 5th grade science proficiency rate exceeds the state average, suggesting potential strengths in science education.
Pleasants County Middle School's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, dropping from 88th out of 168 middle schools in 2022-2023 to 115th out of 169 middle schools in 2023-2024. This indicates a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state. The school also has a highly homogeneous student population, with 96.93% of students identifying as White, which may impact the school's ability to provide a well-rounded educational experience.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,837, the data suggests that the resources are not being effectively utilized to support student learning and academic achievement. Pleasants County Schools may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the challenges faced by Pleasants County Middle School and improve the educational outcomes for its students.
