Frankfort High School

Summary:

Frankfort High School is a public high school located in Ridgeley, West Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 488. The school is part of the Mineral County Schools district, which is ranked 36 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Frankfort High School has consistently ranked among the top high schools in West Virginia, with a ranking as high as 4th in the state in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments is also strong, with higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the Mineral County Schools district and the state average. However, the school has shown varying performance across different student subgroups, with weaker rankings for male students and special education students. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch suggests a lower proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to its strong academic performance.

Compared to nearby high schools, such as Keyser High School and Paw Paw High School, Frankfort High School consistently outperforms them in academic measures, including state assessment proficiency rates and overall school rankings. This suggests that Frankfort High School is providing a higher-quality education than some of its neighboring schools. However, the school's performance disparities across different student subgroups and the fluctuating performance of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds suggest areas for potential improvement and further investigation.

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.
