Best Public Schools in Zip Code 24934

Summary:

The 24934 zip code area is served by a single high school, Pocahontas County High School, which is the sole standout school in this analysis. This school has a relatively high percentage of white students (99.28%) compared to other racial and ethnic groups, and its statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 25th to 52nd out of 112 West Virginia high schools.

Academically, Pocahontas County High School's proficiency rates in Mathematics (27.2%), English Language Arts (44.4%), and Science (25.9%) for the 2023-2024 school year are all below the state averages, though the school has seen some improvement in these areas from the previous year. Despite the higher per-student spending of $15,388 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, the school's academic performance suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be influencing student outcomes.

The lack of diversity in the school's student population and the inconsistent academic performance present opportunities for the Pocahontas County Schools district to focus on improving student learning and achievement, potentially through targeted interventions, curriculum adjustments, or professional development for teachers. By addressing these areas, the district can work to enhance the educational experience and outcomes for students in the 24934 zip code area.
