Best Public Schools in Zip Code 26710

Summary:

The 26710 zip code is home to a single standout elementary school, Burlington Primary, which serves grades PK-4 and is part of the Mineral County Schools district. Despite the district's overall ranking of 36 out of 55 in West Virginia and a 2-star rating, Burlington Primary has consistently performed at a high level, ranking 53rd out of 368 elementary schools in the state for the 2022-2023 school year and 101st out of 368 for 2023-2024.

Burlington Primary's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with its students consistently outperforming the Mineral County Schools district and the state of West Virginia in Mathematics and English Language Arts assessments for 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 70.6% of 3rd-grade students at Burlington Primary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 44.8% for the Mineral County Schools district and 53% for the state. The school's strong test scores and high rankings suggest it is effectively supporting student learning and academic achievement.

While the data does not provide information on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, the relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 10.3 in the 2023-2024 school year suggests that Burlington Primary may have the resources to provide more individualized attention and support to its students. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $13,586 in the 2018-2019 school year was higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its strong academic performance.
