Raleigh County Schools

The Raleigh County Schools district in West Virginia comprises 26 schools, including 17 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district is ranked 12th out of 55 districts in the state and has an overall 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Among the standout schools in the district are Crescent Elementary and Hollywood Elementary, both of which consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, with exceptional test scores and 5-star ratings. At the middle school level, Park Middle School stands out as the top-performing school in the district, with strong test scores and a 5-star rating. The highest-performing high school in the district is Woodrow Wilson High School, which ranks 42nd out of 112 high schools in the state and has a 5-star rating.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels. This suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from the practices of the top-performing schools and implement them across the district. Additionally, the variation in funding and resources, as well as the relationship between racial composition and academic performance, warrant further investigation to address the disparities and improve student outcomes across the Raleigh County Schools district.
