Summary:
The 24954 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Marlinton Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 203 students. The school's student population is overwhelmingly homogeneous, with 99.01% of students identifying as White.
Marlinton Elementary School's academic performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 88th out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 137th out of 368 in 2023-2024. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are generally higher than the Pocahontas County Schools district average and the West Virginia state average, though some grade levels and subjects have seen declines. The school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest it has access to significant financial resources and staffing, which may contribute to its academic performance.
While Marlinton Elementary School appears to be a well-resourced institution, the lack of racial diversity in its student population is a notable concern. This homogeneity could have implications for the educational experiences and perspectives of the students. Additionally, the school's fluctuating performance indicates a need for more consistent and targeted academic interventions to ensure stable and sustained student achievement.
