Summary:
The city of Meadow Bridge, West Virginia is home to two schools: Meadow Bridge Elementary and Meadow Bridge High. Based on the data analysis, Meadow Bridge Elementary stands out as the stronger performing school, consistently outperforming the Fayette County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in Math and English Language Arts proficiency. The school has also improved its statewide ranking over the past few years, moving from the 235th best elementary school in 2021-2022 to the 152nd best in 2023-2024.
In contrast, Meadow Bridge High School appears to be underperforming compared to other high schools in the state. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 105th out of 112 high schools in 2021-2022 to 70th out of 112 in 2023-2024. Proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science are all lower than the Fayette County Schools district and state averages. This suggests that Meadow Bridge High School may need to address areas for improvement to provide a stronger education for its students.
Both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, with Meadow Bridge Elementary having a higher ratio of 13.8 compared to 10.8 at Meadow Bridge High. This may contribute to the elementary school's stronger academic performance. Additionally, the similar per-student spending at both schools suggests that funding alone is not the primary driver of the performance differences between the two schools. Further analysis of factors such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership could provide valuable insights to help address the challenges faced by Meadow Bridge High.
