North Marion High School

Summary:

North Marion High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Farmington, West Virginia, with a student population of 738 that is predominantly White (over 95%).

While North Marion High School is part of the Marion County Schools district, which is ranked 9th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating, the school's own academic performance has been mixed. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated significantly, from 25th to 90th out of 112 West Virginia high schools, and its proficiency rates on state assessments range from 18.7% in Mathematics to 58.7% in English Language Arts, compared to state averages of 17.9% and 50.8%, respectively. The school's performance also varies among different student subgroups, with its White and female students generally performing better than the state averages, while its special education and low socioeconomic status students have struggled.

When compared to other high schools in the Marion County Schools district, such as East Fairmont High School and Fairmont Senior High School, North Marion High School generally performs below its peers, with lower statewide rankings and weaker academic performance on state assessments. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,788, its inconsistent academic results suggest that simply spending more money may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

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.
