Mullens Middle School

Summary:

Mullens Middle School is a public middle school in Mullens, West Virginia, serving 135 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the Wyoming County Schools district, which is ranked 33 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mullens Middle School faces significant academic challenges, with consistently low performance in core subjects like math and English language arts compared to state and district averages. The school has a high percentage of white students (91.85%) and a low percentage of minority students, and its performance on key student subgroups, such as female students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, is generally lower than the state and district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, Mullens Middle School ranked 149th out of 169 West Virginia middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This represents a decline in the school's performance, as its ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 62nd in 2013-2014 to 153rd in 2020-2021.

Despite the challenges, Mullens Middle School's small size and relatively low student-teacher ratio (11.7 in 2022-2023) could present opportunities for targeted interventions and personalized learning approaches to improve student outcomes. Nearby schools, such as Pineville Middle School and Shady Spring Middle School, which are part of the Raleigh County Schools district, consistently outperform Mullens Middle School in academic proficiency and statewide rankings, suggesting that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from its neighbors and implement successful strategies.

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.
