Summary:
The 26419 zip code is home to a single public high school, Valley High School, which serves grades 9-12 and has a total enrollment of 139 students. The school is part of the Wetzel County Schools district, which is ranked 40 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Valley High School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment, is consistently lower than the Wetzel County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in all three subjects tested (Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science). For example, in Mathematics, Valley High School had a 10.2% proficiency rate, compared to 14.6% for Wetzel County Schools and 17.9% for the state. The school's student population is also entirely White, with no representation from other racial or ethnic groups.
Despite the relatively high spending per student ($22,353) and a small student-teacher ratio (7.5 to 1), Valley High School's academic underperformance suggests that the school may be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. Further investigation into the root causes of these issues and potential strategies for improvement would be warranted to ensure that students in the 26419 zip code have access to a strong educational foundation.
