Summary:
There are three elementary schools serving zip code 25550 in Point Pleasant, WV, all part of Mason County Schools, a district ranked 37th out of 54 in West Virginia with a 2-star rating.
For parents, the standout choice in this area is clearly Roosevelt Elementary School, which serves grades PK-6 and is ranked 77th out of 355 elementary schools statewide with a 4-star rating. Roosevelt dramatically outperforms its local counterparts, with 58.8% of students proficient in Math and 55.5% in English Language Arts, compared to just 34.4% and 38.6% respectively at Pt. Pleasant Intermediate (grades 3-6). Roosevelt also beats state averages in most subjects and grades, though 5th grade is a notable weak point where Math proficiency (39.1%) falls below the state average. Pt. Pleasant Primary (grades PK-2) has no test scores but feeds into the Intermediate school, which has a 1-star rating and concerning Science performance. Roosevelt also has the best student-teacher ratio at 14.8:1, while the Primary school has the highest at 16.8:1.
Interestingly, spending does not correlate with success here—Pt. Pleasant Primary spends the most per student ($12,543) yet feeds into the lower-performing Intermediate school, while Roosevelt spends less ($12,259) and achieves far better results. The stark contrast between Roosevelt and Pt. Pleasant Intermediate, both serving grades 3-6 under the same district, suggests that school-level factors like leadership and climate matter more than resources. For parents, Roosevelt is the clear academic leader, while the other two schools face significant challenges relative to state averages.
