Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26218

Summary:

The 26218 zip code in West Virginia is home to a single public elementary school, French Creek Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 with 228 students. The school is part of the Upshur County Schools district, which is ranked 50 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

French Creek Elementary has a student population that is 100% White, with no racial or ethnic diversity represented. The school's performance on state assessments has been mixed, with strengths in Mathematics proficiency but room for improvement in English Language Arts and Science. While the school's per-student spending of $11,106 is higher than the national average, its fluctuating state ranking and rating suggest inconsistent academic performance over time. However, the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4 to 1 suggests the potential for more individualized attention and support for students.

Overall, French Creek Elementary is the sole school serving the 26218 zip code, and its performance data indicates both areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. Parents in this area may want to closely monitor the school's progress and consider how its unique demographics and resource allocation impact student outcomes compared to the broader Upshur County Schools district and the state of West Virginia.
