Summary:
The 25174 zip code has only one school, Marsh Fork Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and is part of the Raleigh County Schools district. While the district is ranked 13 out of 55 in West Virginia and has a 4-star rating, Marsh Fork Elementary does not appear to be a standout school compared to state and district averages.
Marsh Fork Elementary's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, going from 346 out of 368 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 254 out of 368 in 2023-2024 and 250 out of 355 in 2024-2025. Additionally, the school's performance on state assessments is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 5th grade, the school's science proficiency rate is 25%, compared to the district's 34.9% and the state's 33.3%.
While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 7.8 students per teacher, the spending per student of $14,371 is not provided in the context of the district or state averages, making it difficult to assess the adequacy of the school's funding. Overall, the data suggests that Marsh Fork Elementary may need to focus on improving student outcomes, particularly in mathematics and science, to better serve the students in the 25174 zip code.
