Summary:
The 24944 zip code in West Virginia is home to a single public school, Green Bank Elementary-Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 204 students. The school is part of the Pocahontas County Schools district, which is ranked 14 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Green Bank Elementary-Middle School is part of a relatively high-performing district, the school itself does not appear to be a standout performer. Its statewide rankings have been in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools for the past three school years, with rankings of 330 out of 368 in 2022-2023, 347 out of 368 in 2023-2024, and 245 out of 355 in 2024-2025. The school has also received low SchoolDigger star ratings, with 0 stars in 2023-2024 and only 1 star in 2022-2023.
The school's academic performance, as measured by test scores, is generally below the Pocahontas County Schools district average and the statewide average in both mathematics and English language arts across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade mathematics proficiency rate was 54.2%, compared to 57.1% for the district and 53% statewide. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1 and higher spending per student than the national average, these factors do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the students. Further analysis would be needed to identify the root causes and potential solutions for the school's underperformance.
