Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26651

Summary:

The 26651 zip code area is home to 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools in this area share a predominantly white student population, their academic performance varies significantly.

Glade Creek Elementary School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently ranking among the top 100 elementary schools in West Virginia and outperforming the Nicholas County Schools district and the state on math, English, and science assessments. In contrast, Zela Elementary School appears to be a lower-performing school, ranking near the bottom of West Virginia elementary schools and struggling with significantly below-average test scores, particularly in 4th grade.

At the secondary level, Nicholas County High School and Summersville Middle School lag behind state averages in math, English, and science, indicating a need for improvement at the higher grade levels. The data also reveals significant variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, but these factors do not appear to directly correlate with academic performance.
