Summary:
The 26764 zip code area is home to a single elementary school, Terra Alta/East Preston School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 303 students. The school is part of the Preston County Schools district, which is ranked 35 out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Based on the available data, Terra Alta/East Preston School appears to consistently underperform compared to the Preston County Schools district and West Virginia state averages across multiple grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 55.6%, compared to 53% for the district and the state, while the 8th grade math proficiency rate was 26.7%, compared to 25.8% for the district and 32.8% for the state. The school's relatively low spending per student of $10,355 in the 2018-2019 school year may indicate that it is underfunded and lacks the resources needed to support student learning and improve outcomes.
Despite the school's underperformance, it maintains a student-teacher ratio of 12.6 in the 2023-2024 school year. Without more information on the school's student demographics, it is difficult to determine if factors such as socioeconomic status or other characteristics are contributing to the school's challenges. Overall, the data suggests that Terra Alta/East Preston School is facing systemic issues that are impacting student achievement, and further investigation would be needed to develop targeted interventions to improve the school's performance.
