Summary:
The 25123 zip code has only one public elementary school, Leon Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with 123 students. The school is part of the Mason County Schools district, which is ranked 50 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Leon Elementary School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, going from 177th out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 305th out of 355 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding drop in its star rating from 3 to 1. The school's test scores are generally lower than the Mason County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 35.7% compared to 45.9% for the district and 53% for the state.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.7 to 1, which could be a positive factor in terms of providing more individualized attention to students, Leon Elementary School appears to be a struggling school. The key finding is that the school's declining statewide rankings, lower-than-average test scores, and likely high percentage of students from low-income families suggest the need for continued focus and investment to improve educational outcomes for the students in this area.
