Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26170

Summary:

The 26170 zip code area is home to two schools - St. Marys High School and St. Marys Elementary School, both part of the Pleasants County Schools district. While St. Marys High School has seen steady improvement in its statewide ranking and strong performance on state assessments, St. Marys Elementary School has had more mixed results, with some grade levels exceeding state averages and others falling behind.

St. Marys High School stands out as the stronger of the two schools, with its 11th-grade students outperforming the state average in English Language Arts and Science proficiency. The school has also seen its statewide ranking improve, moving from the bottom 25% of West Virginia high schools to the top 27% in the latest ranking. Additionally, St. Marys High School boasts a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.4, which may contribute to its academic success.

In contrast, St. Marys Elementary School has a more variable performance, with 3rd-grade math proficiency exceeding the state average but 4th-grade math and ELA proficiency lagging behind. The school's statewide ranking, while improving, still places it in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools. Both schools have a predominantly white student population, with over 97% of students identifying as white, which may be an area worth exploring further to understand the factors contributing to this demographic makeup.
