The 26167 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Short Line School, which serves grades PK-8 with 367 students. The school is part of the Wetzel County Schools district, which is ranked 49 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Short Line School's academic performance is generally below the Wetzel County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 67.7% of 3rd graders at Short Line School were proficient or better in math, compared to 63.2% for the district and 53% for the state. The school's performance has declined over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 214 out of 368 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 309 out of 355 in 2024-2025.
Despite the higher spending of $19,449 per student, which is significantly higher than the state average, Short Line School's academic performance is still lagging behind the district and state averages. The school's low performance, high poverty rates, and declining rankings suggest that it may be facing significant challenges in providing a quality education to its students. Further investigation into the school's specific challenges and needs would be necessary to identify potential areas for improvement.
