Summary:
Zip code 24938, encompassing the community of Frankford, West Virginia, is served by a single elementary school, Frankford Elementary, which educates students from pre-kindergarten through fifth grade within the Greenbrier County Schools district.
As the only school in the area, Frankford Elementary serves as the educational anchor for the community, with an enrollment of 217 students and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 11.7 to 1. The school demonstrates clear academic strengths, outperforming both district and state averages in mathematics (49.5% proficient versus 39.4% statewide) and English Language Arts (52.6% versus 47.6% statewide). However, the school's performance is not uniform across all subjects and grade levels. While 3rd graders excel, with math proficiency at 63.3% and ELA at 56.7%, there is a notable decline in math by 5th grade, where proficiency drops to 36.4%, falling below the state average. Science is a significant weakness, with only 30.3% of 5th graders proficient, lagging behind the state's 34.6% average. This pattern suggests the school is particularly effective at building foundational skills in early grades but faces challenges in maintaining math momentum and science instruction in upper elementary years.
Despite these subject-specific gaps, the school has a history of strong performance, having earned 4-star ratings in the two previous school years. Its current 3-star rating reflects a recent decline in its state percentile ranking, from the 81st percentile in 2023-2024 to the 53rd percentile in 2025-2026. With per-student spending of $15,057, the school appears to use its resources efficiently, achieving above-average test scores in core subjects. For parents, this means a school that provides a solid academic foundation, particularly in early grades, but one where upper-grade math and science may require additional attention and support at home.
