Wetzel County Schools

Summary:

The Wetzel County Schools district in West Virginia consists of 8 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 4 high schools, and no middle or alternative schools. The district serves a predominantly white student population, with varying levels of academic performance across the schools.

Among the standout schools, Hundred High School ranks the highest in the district, with the best proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science for 11th-grade students. Magnolia High School is the second-highest ranked high school in the district, while New Martinsville School is the top-performing elementary/middle school, with the highest proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts across the various grade levels.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in academic performance and school quality within the district. Some schools, such as Paden City Elementary School and Valley High School, struggle to meet state benchmarks, while others, like New Martinsville School and Hundred High School, perform significantly better. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students in the Wetzel County Schools district.
