Summary:
The 26201 zip code area in West Virginia is home to 7 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Upshur County Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 50 out of 55 in the state and has a 1-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out for their stronger performance.
Buckhannon Academy Elementary School and Tennerton Elementary are the top-performing schools in the area, both earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking in the top half of West Virginia elementary schools. These schools have above-average test scores, particularly in math, with 3rd-grade math proficiency rates exceeding 50%. In contrast, other schools like Union Elementary struggle, with 3rd-grade math proficiency as low as 23.9%.
The data suggests a potential correlation between higher per-student spending and better school performance, as the higher-ranked schools tend to have more funding. However, the overall low rankings and performance of the Upshur County Schools district indicate significant challenges in providing quality education to students in the 26201 zip code area, which has a predominantly white and economically disadvantaged population. While there are opportunities for improvement, the data highlights the need for targeted support and resources to help all schools in the district succeed.
