Brooke High School

Summary:

Brooke High School is a public high school located in Wellsburg, West Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,033 students. The school is part of the Brooke County Schools district, which is ranked 18 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Brooke High School's academic performance has been mixed in recent years. In the 2020-2021 school year, the school performed well, ranking 29 out of 113 West Virginia high schools and receiving a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. However, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ranking dropped to 104 out of 112 high schools, with a 0-star rating. The school's test scores in mathematics, English language arts, and science are consistently lower than the state averages, and the school has a significant percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, with 37.03% of students receiving this benefit in the 2020-2021 school year.

Brooke High School's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools, such as Wheeling Park High School and Oak Glen High School, which have higher rankings and better academic outcomes. The school's higher spending per student ($15,416 in the 2018-2019 school year) compared to nearby schools does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting that the school may need to re-evaluate its strategies and resources to improve 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.
