Schools in Zip Code 25704

Zip code 25704 in the Huntington, WV area is served by four schools spanning all grade levels—two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school—with a combined enrollment of 1,846 students across Wayne County Schools and Cabell County Schools.

The standout school in this area is Kellogg Elementary School, which ranks in the 73rd percentile statewide with a 4-star rating it has maintained for three consecutive years. Its math proficiency of 68.7% is nearly 30 points above the state average and more than 31 points above its own district average, and it outperforms the state in every subject and grade level tested. In stark contrast, Central City Elementary School is the weakest performer, ranking in the 21st percentile with just 1 star and showing a declining trend. Its ELA proficiency of 37.5% is 15.4 points below its own district average, despite being in the higher-ranked Cabell County district. At the secondary level, Spring Valley High School is improving steadily, jumping from the 39th to 56th percentile over two years, while Vinson Middle School sits in the middle of the pack at the 47th percentile.

Several patterns stand out for parents. First, higher spending does not guarantee better results—the two lowest-performing schools spend the most per student, while Kellogg spends the least yet achieves the best outcomes. Second, there is a dramatic math decline as students advance: proficiency drops from 68.7% at Kellogg to 26.5% at Vinson Middle and just 16.2% at Spring Valley High, a 52.5-point slide. Vinson Middle shows strong ELA scores (53.4% proficiency) but critically low science scores at just 11.5%. Science is a universal weakness across all schools in this zip code. Finally, school-level factors clearly matter more than district reputation, as the Wayne County schools generally outperform the Cabell County school despite Wayne County ranking lower overall.
