Summary:
Zip code 25550 is home to just one high school, Point Pleasant Junior/Senior High School, a combined 7th-12th grade campus serving 995 students within the Mason County Schools district.
For parents, the most striking feature of this school is its exceptional graduation rate of 97.2%, which outpaces the state average of 92.8% and nearly matches the district's own 97.4%. This tells you the school is very effective at getting students across the finish line. However, academic proficiency tells a more mixed story. In the most recent testing year, the school's overall math proficiency was 24.5% (state: 39.4%), ELA was 42.5% (state: 47.6%), and science was just 19.0% (state: 29.3%). While these numbers are below state averages, there are bright spots. The 7th-grade cohort performs closest to state norms, and 11th-grade science (22.1%) actually beats the district average (18.8%). The school also showed a major turnaround, jumping from a 1-star to a 3-star rating and climbing from 85th to 55th in the state rankings between the 2024-2025 and 2025-2026 school years.
The biggest concern for parents should be science proficiency, which lags furthest behind state averages across all grades, particularly in 8th grade where only 16% of students are proficient compared to 29.3% statewide. The student-teacher ratio is 17.7, and per-student spending is $11,131, though that figure is from 2018-2019. Overall, this is a school that excels at keeping students enrolled and graduating, but families should be aware that standardized test scores in core subjects, especially science, are areas needing improvement. The recent upward trend in rankings suggests positive momentum, making this a school worth watching in the coming years.
