Summary:
Zip code 26175 is home to just one middle school, Tyler Consolidated Middle School, which serves grades 6 through 8 in the rural community of Sistersville, WV, as part of the Tyler County Schools district.
With 311 students, this school stands out as a solid, above-average performer in West Virginia, particularly in mathematics. The school earned a 4-star rating and ranked 45th out of 161 middle schools statewide for the 2025-2026 school year. Its overall math proficiency rate of 44.2% beats the state average of 39.4%, with the 7th grade showing a remarkable 12.9-point advantage over the state (49.6% vs. 36.7%). Science is another clear strength, as 8th graders posted a 38.5% proficiency rate compared to the state's 29.3%. The school also benefits from a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4, allowing for more individualized attention, and per-student spending is reported at $14,762.
However, English Language Arts is a relative weak spot. The overall ELA proficiency of 45.5% trails the state average of 47.6%, driven largely by the 8th-grade cohort, which scored 42.2% versus the state's 43.9%. Interestingly, 6th and 7th graders are at or above the state average in ELA, showing that performance can vary significantly by grade level. The school's state ranking has also been on a positive trajectory, moving from 58th in 2023-2024 to 38th in 2024-2025 before settling at 45th. For parents, this is a school with clear academic strengths in math and science, a manageable class size, and a consistent record of performing in the top third of West Virginia middle schools, though there is room for improvement in reading and writing skills, especially for older students.
