Summary:
The 26041 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area serve a predominantly white student population, there is a significant disparity in their academic performance and statewide rankings.
Washington Lands Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing school in the area, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and test scores that generally exceed the Marshall County and West Virginia averages. In contrast, Moundsville Middle School and Central Elementary School have lower test scores and rankings compared to the county and state.
The data also reveals that higher spending per student does not necessarily translate to better academic performance. Gateway Achievement Center, the school with the highest spending per student, has historically ranked very low among West Virginia high schools. Additionally, the schools with lower student-teacher ratios, such as Washington Lands Elementary School and Gateway Achievement Center, appear to have stronger academic performance, suggesting that smaller class sizes may be a contributing factor to student success.
