Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25555

Summary:

The 25555 zip code area is home to a single standout public elementary school, Prichard Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 and has an enrollment of 149 students. Prichard Elementary has consistently ranked among the top 25% of elementary schools in West Virginia, with particularly strong performance in math and science proficiency that exceeds county and state averages.

Prichard Elementary's math proficiency rates are impressive, with 72.2% of 3rd graders scoring proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 59.7% for the Wayne County Schools district and 53.2% for the state of West Virginia. The school also outperforms the county and state in 5th grade science proficiency. However, Prichard's English Language Arts proficiency rates lag behind, suggesting an area for potential improvement.

While Prichard Elementary's academic performance is strong overall, the school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from the 80th percentile to the 200th percentile. Additionally, the lack of data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting academic outcomes. Nevertheless, Prichard Elementary's relatively high spending per student and low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 suggest that the school is well-resourced, which likely contributes to its strong academic performance.
