Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26354


Summary:

The 26354 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Taylor County Schools district. While the schools share some common strengths, such as relatively low student-teacher ratios, they also face challenges, particularly in mathematics proficiency.

Taylor County Middle School stands out as the highest-ranked school in the area, earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 58th out of 168 West Virginia middle schools. The school excels in English Language Arts, with 45% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better, but struggles in Mathematics, with only 18.4% of 5th graders reaching proficiency. Grafton High School also performs well in English Language Arts, with 53% of 11th graders scoring proficient or better, but faces similar challenges in Mathematics, with only 11.4% of 11th graders reaching proficiency.

Across all three schools, a consistent trend emerges - underperformance in Mathematics compared to the state average. This suggests a need for targeted interventions and support in this subject area. Additionally, the schools in the 26354 zip code area have a very homogeneous student population, with over 98% of students identifying as white, which may limit the diversity of educational experiences and perspectives available to students. While the schools generally spend in line with the state average and maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, the data indicates that there is room for improvement to better serve the needs of the local community.
