Summary:
The 25181 zip code area in West Virginia is home to 3 schools - 1 middle school and 2 high schools, with no elementary or alternative schools. The schools in this area show significant variation in performance, with Van Junior/Senior High School standing out as a high-performing institution, while Sherman High School has struggled, ranking among the bottom 10% of West Virginia high schools in recent years.
The middle school, Sherman Junior High School, consistently ranks among the top 41 to 61 middle schools in West Virginia, outperforming the Boone County and state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments. In contrast, the high schools generally underperform the state averages in Mathematics, with only 7.2% to 11.1% of 11th-grade students proficient or better, while their performance in English Language Arts is closer to or above the state averages.
The data also reveals potential equity concerns, as all 3 schools have a predominantly white student population, ranging from 97.64% to 98.8% white students. Additionally, the differences in spending per student, which ranges from $9,200 at Sherman Junior High School to $13,696 at Van Junior/Senior High School, and student-teacher ratios, which vary from 12.6 to 15.6, may contribute to the variations in school performance, though further analysis would be needed to establish clear connections.
