Summary:
The 26250 zip code area is home to two schools - Belington Elementary School and Belington Middle School, both of which serve students from the Barbour County Board Of Education district. However, the data suggests these schools are consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.
Belington Elementary School ranks in the bottom 15% of West Virginia elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessments are consistently lower than the Barbour County district and state averages across 3rd and 4th grade math and English language arts. Belington Middle School fares slightly better, ranking in the bottom 30-40% of state middle schools with a 2-3 star rating, but it also lags behind district and state averages on the 5th-8th grade math, English, and science assessments.
While both schools have relatively low student-teacher ratios, which could be a positive factor, the data does not provide information on free/reduced lunch rates, making it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student populations. Additionally, the data set does not include any high schools in the 26250 zip code area, which could limit educational options and pathways for students in the community. To better understand the factors contributing to the schools' performance, additional data would be needed to identify specific areas for improvement and develop effective strategies to support student success.
