Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26147

Summary:

The 26147 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Pleasant Hill School, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Calhoun County Schools district. Despite being the only school in the area, Pleasant Hill School has demonstrated consistently strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and 4th grade English Language Arts, where the school's proficiency rates exceed both the district and state averages.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Pleasant Hill School ranked 95 out of 355 West Virginia elementary schools and received a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has shown consistent performance, ranking 75th out of 368 schools in 2023-2024 and 122nd out of 368 in 2022-2023. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, which could be due to improvements at other schools in the state or changes in the school's own performance.

While the academic performance of Pleasant Hill School is commendable, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the school's ability to serve economically disadvantaged students. This is an area that would warrant further investigation to ensure the school is providing equitable educational opportunities for all students in the 26147 zip code.
