Summary:
Zip code 25601 in Logan, West Virginia, is home to two traditional public elementary schools—Logan Elementary School and Justice Elementary School—serving grades PK through 4 under the Logan County Schools district, which currently ranks in the bottom 15% of West Virginia districts.
These two schools offer distinctly different strengths. Logan Elementary is the larger school with 230 students and a 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio, and it stands out for its mathematics performance—50.7% of students are proficient in math, which is 11 points above the state average and nearly double the district average. However, its ELA proficiency (44.2%) trails the state by about 3 points. In contrast, Justice Elementary is a much smaller school with just 82 students and a notably lower 9.1:1 student-teacher ratio. Justice excels in English Language Arts, with 50% proficiency that beats both the district and state averages, and its 4th grade ELA rate of 57.1% is the single highest subject score at either school. Justice’s math performance (40.6%) is weaker than Logan’s but still above the district average.
Both schools outperform their district averages in every subject and grade level, making them relative bright spots in an otherwise struggling district. However, ranking volatility is a concern—Logan Elementary dropped from the 81st percentile in 2024-2025 to the 43rd percentile in 2025-2026, while Justice Elementary jumped from the 2nd percentile to the 38th percentile in the same period. Justice spends slightly more per student ($13,398 vs. $13,050) despite its smaller size. For parents, the choice comes down to Logan’s stronger math program and higher overall ranking versus Justice’s smaller classes, lower student-teacher ratio, and superior reading outcomes.
