Summary:
The 25514 zip code area is home to two schools - Fort Gay Pre K-8, the only elementary/middle school, and Tolsia High School, the sole high school. Both schools have a very homogeneous student population, with around 98% of students being white, and they consistently underperform on state assessments compared to county and state averages, particularly in mathematics.
Fort Gay Pre K-8 and Tolsia High School have low statewide rankings, placing in the bottom 25% of their respective school types in West Virginia. The schools' performance on state assessments is generally below the county and state averages, with Fort Gay Pre K-8's mathematics proficiency rates ranging from 13.3% to 53.5%, and Tolsia High School's 11th-grade mathematics proficiency rate at only 11%, compared to the state average of 17.9%. Despite the relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratios, the schools are struggling to provide a high-quality education to the community.
The lack of diversity and the underperformance on assessments in the 25514 zip code area suggest that the schools may be facing significant challenges in supporting student academic achievement. Further investigation and targeted interventions could be necessary to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students in this community, which is served by the Wayne County Schools district.
