Summary:
The 25854 zip code is home to a single public high school, Midland Trail High, which serves grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 623 students. While the school has a predominantly white student population, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in mathematics, English Language Arts, and science, is generally lower than the Fayette County Schools district and the state of West Virginia.
Midland Trail High's mathematics proficiency rates are particularly concerning, with only 8.3% of 11th-grade students being proficient or better, compared to 13.6% for the district and 17.9% for the state. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are more mixed, with some grades performing better than the district and state, and others performing worse. In science, Midland Trail High's proficiency rates are also lower than the district and state, with only 21.4% of 11th-grade students and 16.7% of 8th-grade students being proficient or better.
The school's low ranking among West Virginia high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its relatively low spending per student of $12,373 for the 2018-2019 school year, may be contributing factors to its academic challenges. The school's student-teacher ratio of 17.8 for the 2022-2023 school year is also worth noting. Overall, the data suggests that Midland Trail High is underperforming compared to other schools in the region and may need to implement strategies to improve student outcomes.
