Summary:
The 26753 zip code area is home to two schools - Frankfort Middle School and Frankfort High School, both part of the Mineral County Schools district. While Frankfort High School is a standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 25% of West Virginia high schools, Frankfort Middle School lags behind county and state averages on key metrics like test scores and statewide rankings.
Frankfort High School boasts strong academic outcomes, outperforming the Mineral County and West Virginia averages on 11th grade English Language Arts assessments and maintaining a high 92.5% four-year graduation rate. In contrast, Frankfort Middle School struggles to keep pace, with proficiency rates on 5th-8th grade math and ELA assessments typically 5-10 percentage points lower than state averages. Both schools, however, exhibit low science assessment scores, an area of concern that warrants further attention.
The data also reveals a potential resource allocation imbalance, with both schools spending similar amounts per student ($11,469 for Frankfort Middle and $12,341 for Frankfort High) despite the stark contrast in performance. This suggests the need to investigate how resources are utilized across the two campuses to ensure equitable and effective distribution. Overall, the 26753 zip code area presents a mixed picture, with a high-performing high school complemented by a middle school that appears to be underperforming relative to county and state benchmarks.
