Summary:
Zip code 25958 is home to a single high school, Greenbrier West High School, a small rural public school in Charmco, WV, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 350 students.
For parents considering this area, Greenbrier West High School presents a mixed but improving picture. The school has shown remarkable momentum in its state ranking, jumping from a 1-star rating (80th of 111 schools) in 2024-2025 to a 3-star rating (45th of 105 schools) in 2025-2026—a leap of 35 places in a single year. This improvement is particularly notable in mathematics, where 25.4% of 11th graders are proficient, surpassing the state average of 20.6% and showing a dramatic year-over-year increase from 14.6%. However, the school still lags in other core areas: English Language Arts proficiency stands at 45.4% (below the state's 51.2%), and science proficiency is 20.0% (below the state's 23.6%). The graduation rate of 83.1% is also a concern, trailing the district average of 88.1% and the state average of 92.8%.
On the positive side, the school offers a favorable 12:1 student-teacher ratio, which suggests smaller class sizes and more individualized attention, and per-student spending of $14,524 indicates solid resource allocation. The ranking improvement, despite mixed test scores, may reflect gains in student growth or subgroup performance rather than broad academic gains. For parents, this school offers a supportive, small-school environment with a clear upward trajectory in math and overall ranking, but they should be aware of the below-average graduation rate and the need for continued focus on ELA and science proficiency. The school is part of Greenbrier County Schools, which ranks 25th out of 54 districts in West Virginia.
