Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25918

Summary:

The 25918 zip code area in West Virginia is home to three schools - one elementary, one middle, and one high school - all part of the Raleigh County Schools district. While the schools share similar demographic and resource profiles, two of them stand out as exceptional performers: Shady Spring High School and Shady Spring Middle School.

Shady Spring High School and Shady Spring Middle School have consistently outperformed the Raleigh County Schools and West Virginia state averages in English Language Arts proficiency, with Shady Spring Middle School also excelling in Mathematics and Science. These two schools are ranked among the top in the state, with 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger. In contrast, while Shady Spring Elementary is still performing well, it has seen a slight decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years.

The schools in the 25918 zip code area share a relatively homogeneous student population, with a predominance of white students and low racial diversity. However, the similar per-student spending and student-teacher ratios across the three schools suggest a relatively equitable distribution of resources within the Raleigh County Schools district. This could be a positive indicator of the district's commitment to providing quality education to all its students, despite the demographic challenges.
