Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26447

Summary:

The 26447 zip code in West Virginia has only one school, Roanoke Elementary School, which serves grades PK-5 with 178 students. The school is part of the Lewis County Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Roanoke Elementary School's academic performance has been mixed, with stronger proficiency rates in the lower grades but lower rates in the upper grades, particularly in 5th grade. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts were generally higher than the district and state averages in 3rd and 4th grades, but lower in 5th grade. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 29.6% was also lower than the district and state averages.

The school's location within a low-ranked school district and the district's 0-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that Roanoke Elementary School may face systemic challenges related to resource allocation, teacher quality, and overall educational support at the district level. The per-student spending of $12,082 and student-teacher ratio of 12.9 in the 2023-2024 school year appear to be within reasonable ranges, but without additional context, it is difficult to determine if these resources are being effectively utilized to support student learning and achievement.
