Summary:
The 26269 zip code area is home to two schools - Tucker Valley Elementary Middle School (grades PK-8) and Tucker County High School (grades 9-12). While both schools serve predominantly White student populations, they have faced challenges in recent years, with declining performance and fluctuating rankings at the state level.
Tucker Valley Elementary Middle School has seen a significant drop in its statewide ranking, going from 211 out of 375 elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 301 out of 368 in 2023-2024, with proficiency rates on state assessments generally below the county and state averages. In contrast, Tucker County High School has experienced more volatility in its ranking, fluctuating from 74 out of 112 high schools in 2021-2022 to 15 out of 112 in 2022-2023 (4-star rating), and then back down to 87 out of 112 in 2023-2024 (1-star rating).
Both schools have a predominantly White student population, with Tucker Valley Elementary Middle School at 96.98% and Tucker County High School at 95.56%. This lack of racial diversity may be an area of concern and could indicate potential challenges in providing a well-rounded educational experience for students. Additionally, the difference in spending per student between the elementary/middle school ($11,886) and the high school ($13,210) suggests potential funding or resource disparities that may contribute to the observed performance trends.
