Summary:
Zip code 25413 in Bunker Hill, West Virginia, is served by two elementary schools—Mill Creek Intermediate School (grades 3-5, 553 students) and Bunker Hill Elementary (grades PK-3, 425 students)—which together form a complete PK-5 pipeline within the Berkeley County Schools district.
Mill Creek Intermediate is the clear standout, showing exceptional recent momentum. In the 2025-2026 school year, it jumped 88 spots in the state ranking to 139th of 355 schools (61st percentile, 3 stars), up from 227th the prior year. Its students outperform both district and state averages in every subject—math scores are 51.5% (vs. 39.4% statewide), ELA is 52.8% (vs. 47.6%), and science is 38.2% (vs. 34.6%). However, 4th grade shows a notable dip in both math and ELA (47.9% each), suggesting a transition challenge at that level. Bunker Hill Elementary, by contrast, lacks recent ranking data (last available from 2013-2014) and has shown historical volatility, dropping from a 5-star rating in 2012-2013 to 3 stars the following year. Its most recent 3rd-grade scores (2024-2025) are solid but less impressive: 53.3% in math and 48.9% in ELA, both slightly above state averages.
Both schools maintain favorable student-teacher ratios (13.9:1 and 13.7:1), and each outperforms its district averages in all tested subjects—a bright spot given the district ranks in the bottom half of West Virginia (39th percentile). Bunker Hill Elementary spends more per student ($13,074 vs. $11,549), likely reflecting the costs of early childhood programs. The complementary grade configurations mean students switch schools mid-elementary, which can be disruptive but also allows for specialized instruction. For parents, Mill Creek offers the strongest current performance and clear upward trajectory, while Bunker Hill provides a solid early foundation, though its lack of recent ranking data makes current standing harder to gauge.
