Best Elementary Schools in Zip Code 26250

Belington Elementary has struggled to improve its academic performance, fluctuating between a 0-star and 1-star rating over the past few years. The school's test scores in math and English language arts are generally below the district and state averages, indicating a need to focus on improving student outcomes. Additionally, the school has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 97.28% of students identifying as white, which could be an area to explore in terms of diversity and inclusion.

While Belington Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which could be a positive factor, the school's spending per student of $11,265 (2018-2019) is on the lower end. This limited funding may be a contributing factor to the school's academic struggles. Overall, the data suggests that Belington Elementary is a school in need of improvement, and the community may benefit from exploring ways to support the school in enhancing its educational offerings and student success.
