Summary:
Zip code 25039 is home to a single school, Cedar Grove Elementary School, a small PK-5 institution in Cedar Grove, WV, serving just 159 students within the Kanawha County Schools district.
For parents, the standout story here is exceptional mathematics achievement. Cedar Grove posts a 75.4% math proficiency rate, nearly double the state average of 39.4%, with 3rd graders hitting an extraordinary 90.9% proficiency. The school has also shown impressive momentum, climbing from the 50th percentile in state rankings (2023-2024) to the 78th percentile (2025-2026) and earning a 4-star rating. With a 15.1:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $13,088, this is a personalized learning environment that is clearly getting strong results in math.
However, the picture is more mixed in other subjects. English Language Arts proficiency sits at 52.3%, only slightly above the state average (47.6%), and there is a troubling grade-level decline: ELA proficiency drops from 63.6% in 3rd grade to just 34.8% in 5th grade—a 28.8-point fall that leaves 5th graders well below state norms. Science is also a weak spot, with 5th grade proficiency at 31.8%, under the state's 34.6%. The math-versus-ELA gap (23.1 points) suggests literacy instruction needs more attention, and the lower 5th grade scores across all subjects could indicate a challenging cohort or emerging systemic issues. While Cedar Grove is a clear math powerhouse and a rising star in the district, parents should be aware that reading and science outcomes lag behind, particularly in upper elementary grades.
