Summary:
The 24853 zip code area is home to a single public elementary school, Kimball Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to the state average, its academic performance has been consistently low, ranking among the bottom 5% of West Virginia elementary schools.
Kimball Elementary School's student population is predominantly White (73.58%) and African American (20.13%), with a small percentage of students identifying as two or more races. Across various subjects and grade levels, the school's proficiency rates are significantly below the McDowell County and West Virginia state averages. For example, in 5th grade science, only 3.6% of Kimball students were proficient, compared to 8.2% in the district and 32.3% statewide.
Despite the school's resource advantages, such as a low student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending, Kimball Elementary continues to struggle to provide a high-quality education to its students. This suggests that the school may be facing systemic challenges or other barriers to improving academic outcomes. Further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the underlying issues and support the success of Kimball Elementary School and its students.
