Summary:
The 25251 zip code in West Virginia is home to a single school, Geary Elementary/Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 and has 229 students. The school is part of the Roane County Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.
Geary Elementary/Middle School's performance on state assessments has declined over the past few years, with the school's ranking dropping from 139 out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 248 out of 368 in 2022-2023, and further to 239 out of 368 in 2023-2024. The school's test scores generally lag behind the Roane County Schools district and the state of West Virginia, with the 3rd grade math proficiency rate at 41.2% compared to 41.2% for the district and 53.2% for the state. Additionally, the school's student population is overwhelmingly white, at 96.07%, which may indicate a lack of diversity and representation within the school community.
Despite the higher spending per student at $12,582, which is above the state average, and the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1, Geary Elementary/Middle School's academic performance continues to decline. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, and the school and district may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying challenges, such as access to resources, teacher quality, or other factors that contribute to student success.
