Summary:
The 26585 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Long Drain School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 167 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.
Long Drain School has consistently low academic performance, with proficiency rates in mathematics, English language arts, and science that are generally lower than the Wetzel County Schools district and the state of West Virginia. The school has been ranked among the lowest in the state, with rankings of 328th, 313th, and 296th out of 368-375 West Virginia elementary schools in the past three school years, and it has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Despite the high spending of $21,704 per student and a low student-teacher ratio of 7.5 to 1, the school's academic outcomes do not reflect the investment, suggesting potential issues with resource allocation or instructional practices.
Another notable finding is the lack of diversity at Long Drain School, with a 100% white student population and no representation from other racial or ethnic groups. This may indicate a lack of diversity in the school and the surrounding community. Overall, the data paints a concerning picture of Long Drain School's performance, and further investigation into the school's instructional practices, resource allocation, and community engagement may be warranted to identify opportunities for improvement.
