Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24986

Summary:

The 24986 zip code is home to a single elementary school, White Sulphur Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 337 students. The school is part of the Greenbrier County Schools district, which is ranked 27th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While White Sulphur Elementary has a predominantly white student population (86.94%), its academic performance is generally below the district and state averages. The school's test scores on the West Virginia Assessment are consistently lower than the Greenbrier County Schools and West Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 36.8%, compared to 50.7% for the district and 53.2% for the state. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 199th out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 249th out of 368 in 2023-2024, suggesting a decline in performance relative to other schools in the state.

With a student-teacher ratio of 13.1 to 1 and a spending per student of $12,420 for the 2018-2019 school year, White Sulphur Elementary is a relatively small school that may face challenges in terms of resources and support. The school's underperformance compared to the district and state averages could be related to socioeconomic factors, but without specific data on free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to determine the exact impact. Overall, the data suggests that White Sulphur Elementary is a struggling school that needs to address its academic challenges to better support student success.
