Summary:
Zip code 24867 is served by a single public high school, Wyoming County East High School in New Richmond, WV, which enrolls 449 students in grades 9 through 12 as part of the Wyoming County Schools district.
For parents considering this area, Wyoming County East High School is the only option, so its strengths and challenges define the local educational experience. The school’s most notable asset is its graduation rate of 93.1%, which slightly exceeds both the district and state averages of 92.8%. This suggests the school is effective at helping students complete their diplomas. However, academic performance on standardized tests is mixed. In 11th grade, 43.2% of students are proficient in English Language Arts, which is close to the district average but below the state’s 51.2%. Math proficiency is much lower at 16.8%, and science proficiency is 17.9%, both trailing state averages by several points. The school’s state ranking has been volatile, dropping from 53rd out of 111 schools (52nd percentile) in 2024-2025 to 64th out of 105 (39th percentile) in 2025-2026, reflecting a significant year-over-year decline in test scores, particularly in math and science, which fell by roughly one-third.
One key takeaway is the stark gap between ELA and STEM subjects—students perform far better in reading and writing than in math and science, indicating a potential area for additional support. The school does outperform its district average in math and ELA, but lags behind the state in all three subjects. The student-teacher ratio is 16.8:1, and per-student spending is $11,844, though that figure is from 2018-2019 and may be outdated. While the low test proficiency is concerning, the strong graduation rate suggests the school prioritizes student retention and support. Parents should be aware that the data lacks socioeconomic indicators like free/reduced lunch percentages, making it harder to fully contextualize these results.
