Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25312

Summary:

The 25312 zip code area in West Virginia is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Kanawha County Schools district. While the schools share similar funding levels, their academic performance varies, with Sissonville High School standing out as the top performer in the area.

Sissonville High School ranks 53rd out of 112 West Virginia high schools and has a 3-star rating, outperforming the county and state averages on 11th-grade English Language Arts assessments. In contrast, Sissonville Middle School has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 44th out of 169 schools in 2021-2022 to 102nd out of 169 in 2023-2024, with lower-than-average test scores in Mathematics and English Language Arts. Flinn Elementary School stands out with a higher-than-average 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate, but the overall student population across the schools is predominantly white, with little diversity.

The data suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as teaching quality, curriculum, and school leadership, may play a more significant role in driving student achievement in this area. The schools' inconsistent performance across grade levels and subjects, as well as the declining performance at Sissonville Middle School, highlight the need for a more comprehensive approach to improving academic outcomes for all students in the 25312 zip code area.
