Summary:
The 25008 zip code area has only one school, Clear Fork District Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 99 students. While the school's small size and low student-teacher ratio of 11:1 could be advantages, its academic performance has been declining over the past three years, with proficiency rates consistently below the Raleigh County Schools and West Virginia state averages.
Clear Fork District Elementary's statewide ranking has dropped from 130th out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 287th out of 368 in 2023-2024, and its star rating has decreased from 3 stars to 1 star. The school's racial makeup is predominantly White (95.96%), with small percentages of Hispanic (3.03%) and students of two or more races (1.01%). Despite the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $13,971, its academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science, remains a concern.
The steady decline in Clear Fork District Elementary's performance and the school's consistent underperformance compared to the district and state averages suggest the need for a deeper investigation into the factors contributing to these issues. Addressing the underlying challenges and implementing strategies to improve academic outcomes could help ensure that students in the 25008 zip code area receive a high-quality education that prepares them for future success.
