Musselman Middle School

Summary:

Musselman Middle School is a public middle school located in Bunker Hill, West Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 673 students. The school is part of the Berkeley County Schools district, which is ranked 35 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Musselman Middle School faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 15th out of 176 West Virginia middle schools in 2016-2017 to 114th out of 169 in 2023-2024. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better in state assessments, is generally lower than the Berkeley County Schools district and the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 8th-grade math proficiency rate was 21.7%, compared to the district's 16.9% and the state's 28.7%. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than the state average, while male students, low socioeconomic status students, and English Language Learner students perform significantly worse.

When compared to other middle schools in the area, Musselman Middle School generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates and lower statewide rankings. For instance, Harpers Ferry Middle School, a Jefferson County school, consistently outperforms Musselman Middle School across all subject areas and grade levels. The high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds at Musselman Middle School (49.22% in 2020-2021) may be contributing to its academic challenges, as research has shown that poverty can have a significant impact on student learning and achievement.

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.
