Greenbrier West High School

Summary:

Greenbrier West High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Charmco, West Virginia, with a student population of 404. The school is part of the Greenbrier County Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Academically, Greenbrier West High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state and its own district, with proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science all below the state and district averages. The school's performance has declined over the years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 41st out of 117 high schools in 2014-2015 to 62nd out of 112 high schools in 2023-2024. This trend is particularly concerning for the school's predominantly White and low-income student population, as it suggests potential equity issues and the need for more targeted interventions.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Midland Trail High and Meadow Bridge High, both part of the Fayette County Schools district, Greenbrier West High School generally performs worse academically. However, the school has a lower student-teacher ratio and potentially more resources per student, suggesting that the issue may not be solely about funding or staffing, but rather a deeper examination of instructional practices, curriculum, and targeted interventions to address the needs of the diverse student population.

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.
