Summary:
Zip code 25638 is served by a single school, Omar Elementary, a small, rural PK-4 school in the Logan County Schools district with 142 students.
For parents considering this area, the most important takeaway is that Omar Elementary is currently facing a severe academic crisis. The school has dropped from the 20th percentile in state rankings in 2023-2024 to the absolute bottom—355th out of 355 schools—in the 2025-2026 school year. Test scores are dramatically below both the district and state averages across every subject and grade level. For example, only 8.3% of 4th graders are proficient in math, compared to 45.2% for the district and 49.2% statewide. This represents a staggering 60% drop in math proficiency from 3rd grade (20.8%) to 4th grade, suggesting a potential problem with the 4th-grade math curriculum or instruction. The school also lags significantly in ELA, with 22.2% proficiency overall versus 47.6% statewide.
Interestingly, the school has some positive structural attributes that are not translating into academic success. The student-to-teacher ratio is a favorable 12.3:1, and per-student spending is a relatively high $14,415. This resource-performance paradox suggests the issue is not a lack of funding or staffing, but likely lies in instructional strategies, curriculum alignment, or socio-economic factors affecting the student population. The school is also significantly behind its own district, indicating the challenges are unique to Omar Elementary rather than systemic across Logan County Schools. Parents should be aware that this school requires immediate and targeted intervention to reverse its rapid decline.
