Summary:
The 25515 zip code in West Virginia has only one school, Beale Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 with an enrollment of 218 students. The school is part of the Mason County Schools district, which is ranked 50 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Beale Elementary School's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment varying across grade levels and subject areas. While the school excels in certain areas, such as 5th grade English Language Arts with a 67.9% proficiency rate, it struggles in others, particularly in mathematics, where proficiency ranges from 25% (6th grade) to 48.6% (4th grade), generally lagging behind the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the past few years, ranging from 190 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 257 out of 368 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's high spending per student ($13,931) and relatively low student-teacher ratio (9.9), these resources do not appear to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes. The low ranking and 1-star rating for the Mason County Schools district suggest that the district as a whole may be facing challenges that could be impacting the performance of individual schools like Beale Elementary.
