Summary:
The 26241 zip code area in West Virginia is home to 7 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools, all part of the Randolph County Schools district. While the district as a whole is ranked 54th out of 55 in the state and has a 0-star rating, a few schools in the area stand out, including Midland Elementary School, which consistently performs well and ranks among the top elementary schools in West Virginia.
The schools in the 26241 zip code area generally perform below the state average on standardized tests, with the exception of Midland Elementary, which has significantly higher test scores, particularly in mathematics. Elkins High School also maintains a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and has test scores that are higher than the district average, though still below the state average. The student populations at these schools are predominantly white, ranging from 87.25% to 95.68% white students, with limited racial diversity.
Funding disparities are also evident, with the Randolph County Alternative Center spending nearly twice as much per student as the other schools in the area. This suggests a need for further investigation into the factors contributing to the overall underperformance of the schools in the 26241 zip code area and the potential impact of funding inequities on educational outcomes.
