Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26037

Summary:

The 26037 zip code area is home to two strong-performing elementary schools, Brooke Primary School North and Brooke Intermediate School North, both part of the Brooke County Schools district. These schools serve grades K-2 and 3-4, respectively, and demonstrate a commitment to academic excellence.

Brooke Primary School North stands out with a 4-out-of-5-star rating from SchoolDigger and a high per-student spending of $13,669, indicating a focus on providing ample resources for student learning. Brooke Intermediate School North also performs well, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts exceeding the district and state averages. Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, further supporting their ability to deliver personalized attention to students.

While the schools' academic achievements are commendable, the demographic makeup of the student populations is notably homogeneous, with over 95% of students identifying as white. This lack of diversity may warrant further exploration by school and district leaders to ensure equitable access and inclusiveness for all students in the community.
