Summary:

Zip code 26241 in Elkins, West Virginia, is served by 7 schools within the Randolph County Schools district, covering elementary through high school grades for approximately 2,268 students. The district itself ranks in the 6th percentile statewide, but the elementary schools in this area are the clear bright spot, with Midland Elementary School leading the way as the top performer in the zip code, ranking in the 66th percentile of all WV elementary schools with math proficiency more than double the district average.

Parents will find a dramatic difference between the elementary and secondary levels. Three of the four elementary schools—Midland Elementary School, North Elementary School, and Jennings Randolph Elementary School—exceed state math averages, with Midland posting a 57.5% math proficiency rate. However, Elkins Middle School represents a significant drop-off, ranking in the 7th percentile statewide with math proficiency at just 17%, less than half the state average. Elkins High School presents a paradox: it boasts a strong 96.4% graduation rate but only 14% of 11th graders are proficient in math, suggesting students may be graduating without mastering core content.

The most encouraging trend is the upward momentum across most schools. Jennings Randolph Elementary School jumped from the 25th to 54th percentile in one year, while North Elementary School improved from the 18th to 34th percentile. Elkins Third Ward Elementary School remains the weakest elementary option, with math scores below state averages. Notably, per-student spending does not correlate with performance—Elkins Third Ward Elementary School spends the most among elementary schools yet has the lowest math scores, while Midland Elementary School achieves the best results with average spending. The Randolph County Alternative Center serves just 11 students with the highest per-student spending, reflecting its specialized role.
