Summary:
The city of Philippi, West Virginia, is home to 3 schools that serve students from elementary through high school. The schools include Philip Barbour High School Complex, Philippi Elementary School, and Philippi Middle School, all of which are part of the Barbour County Board Of Education district.
The high school, Philip Barbour High School Complex, has seen significant fluctuations in its statewide ranking, but its recent test scores in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science have exceeded the Barbour County and West Virginia state averages. In contrast, Philippi Middle School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of West Virginia middle schools and has significantly lower test scores compared to the county and state. Philippi Elementary School, while its statewide ranking has declined, maintains 3rd-grade test scores that are higher than the Barbour County and state averages.
Across the schools, the student population is predominantly white, ranging from 92.48% to 94.5% white students, with relatively low percentages of minority students. The spending per student and student-teacher ratios are similar across the schools. However, the data does not provide information on the free and reduced lunch rates, which could indicate potential equity concerns within the district.
