Meadow Bridge High

Summary:

Meadow Bridge High is a public high school in Meadow Bridge, West Virginia, serving grades 7-12 with a total enrollment of 185 students. The school is part of the Fayette County Schools district, which is ranked 43 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Meadow Bridge High faces significant challenges compared to the state and nearby schools. The school consistently underperforms in academic proficiency, with 11th-grade students scoring well below state averages in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. While male students and those from low socioeconomic backgrounds perform relatively well, female students and special education students struggle, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of West Virginia high schools. Despite spending more per student than the nearby Oak Hill High and Midland Trail High schools, Meadow Bridge High's academic outcomes are significantly worse, indicating that higher spending alone does not necessarily translate to better educational outcomes.

The school's small size, rural location, and high percentage of economically disadvantaged students may contribute to the challenges it faces in improving academic performance and student outcomes. Addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach that addresses both academic and non-academic factors impacting student success. With a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of West Virginia high schools, Meadow Bridge High has significant room for improvement to better support the educational needs of its students.

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.
