Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25506

Summary:

The 25506 zip code area is home to a single middle school, Guyan Valley Middle, which serves grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 235 students. This school has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of West Virginia middle schools, receiving a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger and struggling to meet academic proficiency standards in core subjects like mathematics, English language arts, and science.

Guyan Valley Middle's performance lags significantly behind both the state and Lincoln County Schools district averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 5.2% of 6th-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 30.9% statewide and 20.5% in the district. The school's predominantly White student population does not appear to be a factor in its underperformance, as its metrics trail the broader region. Despite a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.7, the school has been unable to translate its staffing resources into improved academic outcomes for its students.

Overall, the data suggests that Guyan Valley Middle is a struggling school that requires significant attention and intervention to improve the educational opportunities and outcomes for its students. Further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes of the school's poor performance and develop a plan to address the systemic issues that are hindering student success.
