Summary:
The 25067 zip code has only one school, East Bank Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 and is part of the Kanawha County Schools district. While the district is ranked 22 out of 55 in West Virginia, East Bank Middle School's academic performance has been declining, with its statewide ranking dropping from 156th out of 168 middle schools to 108th out of 168 over the past three school years.
East Bank Middle School's proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment are generally lower than the Kanawha County and state averages, particularly in mathematics, English language arts, and science. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 8th-grade proficiency rates were 32.1% in mathematics, 48.1% in English language arts, and just 9% in science, compared to the district and state averages of around 35% and 43%, respectively. The school's proficiency rates have also declined in the 2023-2024 school year compared to the 2024-2025 school year.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.7, this does not seem to be translating into better academic outcomes for students. The lack of information on the school's free/reduced lunch rate also makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that East Bank Middle School is underperforming academically, and further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes and develop strategies for improvement.
