The 24977 zip code is home to a single public elementary school, Smoot Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 154 students. Smoot Elementary has a predominantly White student population (97.4%), with small percentages of Asian and multiracial students.
Academically, Smoot Elementary has shown mixed performance compared to the Greenbrier County Schools district and the state of West Virginia. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school outperformed the district and state averages in Mathematics for grades 3-4, but underperformed in English Language Arts and Science for grade 5. Its statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 121st out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 231st out of 375 in 2021-2022. The school's per-student spending of $13,285 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.7 suggest potential funding challenges or higher costs of providing education in this rural area.
While Smoot Elementary is the only school in the 24977 zip code, its performance and metrics should be considered within the broader context of the Greenbrier County Schools district and the state of West Virginia. The lack of diversity in the student population and the inconsistent academic performance indicate the need for a closer examination of the school's curriculum, teaching practices, and resource allocation to ensure more consistent and high-quality educational outcomes for its students.
