The 26416 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Philippi Elementary School, which serves grades PK-4. With 399 students, the school has a predominantly White student population (92.48%) and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, slightly lower than the state average.

While Philippi Elementary School's academic performance, as measured by state assessment proficiency rates, is generally below the Barbour County and West Virginia averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 254th out of 375 West Virginia elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 296th out of 368 in 2023-2024. This drop in ranking suggests a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school's spending per student was $10,683 in the 2018-2019 school year, a data point that could be compared to district or state averages to determine if the funding allocation is adequate or if it is a potential factor in the school's academic performance. Overall, the analysis of Philippi Elementary School reveals areas of concern, particularly in the school's declining statewide ranking and academic performance gaps, which warrant further investigation to identify opportunities for improvement.
