Summary:
Lincoln County Schools in West Virginia has only one middle school, Guyan Valley Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with a student population of 235. The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom 10% of West Virginia middle schools over the past 3 years and has proficiency rates that are significantly below state and district averages across all subject areas and grade levels.
Guyan Valley Middle School's racial makeup is predominantly White (97.02%), with small percentages of African American (2.13%) and Hispanic (0.85%) students. The school's free/reduced lunch rate is not provided, but its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $12,782, and it has a student-teacher ratio of 12.7, which is slightly lower than the state average. However, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
The data suggests that Lincoln County Schools may need to prioritize improving the quality of education at Guyan Valley Middle School to better serve its students. The consistently low academic performance, lack of diversity, and potential equity issues at the school indicate that the district should focus on addressing these challenges and providing the necessary resources and support to help students succeed.
