Spring Valley High School is the top-performing school in the area, ranking 19th out of 112 high schools in West Virginia and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Kellogg outperforms the state and county averages in both math and English language arts proficiency across grades 3-5, with over 50% of students proficient or better in math.
