Summary:
The 25430 zip code area is home to 3 schools, including 1 elementary school, 0 middle schools, 0 high schools, and 2 alternative public charter schools. The standout school in the area is North Jefferson Elementary, which has seen a significant decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 193 out of 375 in 2021-2022 to 318 out of 368 in 2023-2024. This decline is accompanied by generally lower test scores compared to the Jefferson County Schools district and state averages.
The two alternative schools, Eastern Panhandle Preparatory Academy and Virtual Preparatory Academy of West Virginia, serve a more diverse student population, with higher percentages of non-white students compared to North Jefferson Elementary. However, the data does not provide any information on the academic performance or statewide rankings of these alternative schools, making it difficult to fully evaluate and compare the quality of education they provide.
Overall, the 25430 zip code area offers a mix of educational options, with the traditional elementary school facing declining performance and the alternative schools serving a more diverse student population. Further investigation would be needed to understand the underlying factors contributing to the performance trends and to assess the equity of educational opportunities across the different school types in this area.
