Martinsburg North Middle School consistently ranks among the lowest-performing middle schools in West Virginia, ranking 163rd out of 169 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the state and district averages.

Additionally, 62.87% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11 to 11.8 students per teacher, the academic challenges persist.

While Martinsburg North Middle School is struggling, the nearby schools, such as Hedgesville Middle School and Harpers Ferry Middle School, are performing significantly better and have higher rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger. This suggests that there may be opportunities for Martinsburg North Middle School to learn from and collaborate with these higher-performing schools to identify and implement effective strategies for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
