Summary:
The 25174 zip code area has only one school, Marsh Fork Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 162 students. The school's student population is predominantly White (95.06%), with small percentages of Hispanic (0.62%) and students of two or more races (2.47%).
Academically, Marsh Fork Elementary has faced some challenges in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from 254th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2023-2024 (2 out of 5 stars) to 277th out of 375 in 2021-2022 (1 out of 5 stars). Proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science have consistently lagged behind the Raleigh County Schools and West Virginia state averages, particularly in 3rd grade English Language Arts (6.3% vs. 45.3% and 39.9%, respectively). However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 to 1 and higher per-student spending of $14,371 compared to the state average.
While Marsh Fork Elementary's academic performance raises some concerns, the school's demographic composition and resource allocation could be areas for further investigation. Understanding the factors contributing to the school's fluctuating statewide ranking and developing targeted interventions to improve student outcomes may be crucial in ensuring equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 25174 zip code area.
