Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25420

Summary:

The 25420 zip code area in West Virginia is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools and 1 middle school. While the elementary schools, Mountain Ridge Intermediate and Gerrardstown Elementary School, perform relatively well academically, the lone middle school, Mountain Ridge Middle School, struggles significantly, particularly in math proficiency.

Mountain Ridge Middle School stands out as the largest school in the area with 619 students, and it also has the highest percentage of minority students at 20.7%. However, this school's academic performance is concerning, with math proficiency rates well below the county and state averages across all grade levels. In contrast, the elementary schools perform closer to or above the county and state averages in both math and English Language Arts.

Funding and resources also vary across the schools. Gerrardstown Elementary School has the highest spending per student at $12,261, while Mountain Ridge Intermediate has the lowest at $10,853. These differences in resource allocation may contribute to the observed performance gaps between the middle school and the elementary schools in the Berkeley County Schools district.
