Summary:
The 26292 zip code in West Virginia has only one school, Davis Thomas Elementary Middle School, which serves grades PK-8 and has 194 students enrolled. The school is part of the Tucker County Schools district, which is ranked 51 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Davis Thomas Elementary Middle School has consistently performed below the Tucker County Schools and West Virginia state averages on state assessments in math, English language arts, and science across multiple grade levels. The school's math proficiency rates were particularly low, falling short of the district and state averages. In English language arts, the school's performance was mixed, with some grades performing above the district and state averages, while others fell behind. The school's science proficiency rates were slightly above the district average but still below the state average.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $12,215 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3, its academic outcomes do not seem to reflect these resource investments. This raises questions about how the funding and staffing are being utilized and whether they are being allocated effectively to support student learning. Additionally, the lack of information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rate makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic makeup of the student population and whether there are any equity concerns that may be contributing to the school's performance challenges.
