Doddridge County Middle School

Summary:

Doddridge County Middle School is a public middle school located in West Union, West Virginia, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 328 students. The school is part of the Doddridge County Schools district, which is ranked 14 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Doddridge County Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming the state average in both mathematics and English language arts assessments across all grade levels. The school also demonstrates exceptional performance for its special education and English Language Learner (ELL) student populations, ranking 4th out of 67 West Virginia middle schools for ELL students and 9th out of 56 for Asian students in the 2016-2017 school year. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 11.7 to 13.6 over the past three school years, which is lower than the nearby Tyler Consolidated Middle School, Mountaineer Middle School, and Ritchie County Middle schools.

While Doddridge County Middle School generally outperforms the state average, it is not always the top performer among the nearby schools analyzed. For example, Ritchie County Middle School has consistently higher proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts across multiple grade levels. Additionally, the school's performance in science assessments, particularly in 8th grade, is an area that could benefit from further attention and targeted interventions. The school's fluctuating ranking and potential areas for improvement indicate the need for ongoing monitoring and strategic planning to maintain and enhance its academic success.

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.
