Summary:
Zip code 26833 is home to a single school, Maysville Elementary School, a small rural school serving 203 students in grades Pre-K through 6th grade within the Grant County Schools district.
Maysville Elementary is the only school in this area, so all attention falls on its performance. The school shows a clear strength in English Language Arts (ELA), with an overall proficiency rate of 62.1%—well above both the district (46.9%) and state (47.6%) averages. Every grade level (3rd through 6th) outperforms the state average in ELA, with 5th grade being particularly strong at 71.9% proficiency. Mathematics tells a more uneven story. While 6th grade math proficiency is an impressive 57.9%—nearly double the district average of 29.2%—the lower grades struggle. 3rd grade math proficiency is just 31.8%, far below the district's 60.4%, and 5th grade math (37.5%) also trails the state average. This creates a "tale of two subjects" where literacy instruction is consistently effective, but math performance varies dramatically by grade level.
One notable concern is the school's declining state ranking. Over the past three years, Maysville has dropped from the 84th percentile (2023-2024) to the 65th percentile (2025-2026), even though its test scores remain at or above state averages in most areas. This suggests other schools in West Virginia are improving at a faster pace. The 6th grade math anomaly is a standout positive—a 57.9% proficiency rate that far exceeds expectations—and 5th grade science (34.4%) is right at the state average while beating the district. With a student-teacher ratio of 15.1 and per-student spending of $11,284, Maysville is a small school that delivers strong literacy results but shows room for improvement in early-grade math. Parents should note the school's ELA excellence and investigate the math support available for grades 3-5.
