Summary:
The 25671 zip code has only one school, Dingess Elementary School, a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 with 110 students. The school is part of the Mingo County Schools district, which is ranked 27 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Dingess Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment, is generally below the Mingo County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages, particularly in mathematics. The school's ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger have declined over the past three school years, going from a 0-star rating in 2022-2023 to a 2-star rating in 2024-2025. However, the school's student-teacher ratio of 7.8 is relatively low, which could indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students.
The school's spending per student of $12,614 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student learning and achievement. The free/reduced lunch rate for the school is not provided, so it's difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population and how that may be impacting academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that Dingess Elementary School is facing some challenges in terms of academic performance and school quality, and further investigation would be needed to understand the root causes and identify potential areas for improvement.
