Summary:
The 26585 zip code has only one school, Long Drain School, an elementary school serving grades PK-8 with 181 students. The school is part of the Wetzel County Schools district, which is ranked 49 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Long Drain School's performance has been declining over the past three years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 313 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 346 out of 355 in 2024-2025. The school's proficiency rates in mathematics and English language arts are significantly lower than the district and state averages, ranging from 14.3% to 40% in mathematics and 8.7% to 36.4% in English language arts in 2024-2025. Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and higher per-student spending of $21,704, the school's academic outcomes remain poor.
Overall, Long Drain School is facing significant academic challenges and is underperforming compared to other schools in the state. The lack of information on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the potential impact of socioeconomic factors on the school's performance. However, the data suggests that the school's struggles are not solely due to resource allocation, and there may be systemic issues or other factors contributing to the school's declining performance.
