About Cabell County School District
Cabell County School District serves zip code 25703, covering Huntington, West Virginia with grades K–12. Whether you’re researching a move, evaluating a home purchase, or preparing to enroll a child, the sections below give you a complete picture of this district’s resources, size, and what its rating means for your family.
Understanding the 9/10 Rating
With a rating of 9/10 (excellent), Cabell County School District ranks among West Virginia’s top-tier-rated school systems. Our ratings are based on state assessment results — the share of students scoring proficient or above in reading and math, as reported in the U.S. Department of Education’s EDFacts collection (2021–22 school year). We average each district’s reading and math proficiency, then rank it against other districts in the same state to produce a 1–10 score. Because West Virginia is compared only against itself, the rating reflects how this district performs relative to its in-state peers.
Cabell County School District carries a below-average rating, with reading and math proficiency rates below typical West Virginia benchmarks on state assessments. A below-average score reflects test performance relative to other districts — not necessarily teaching quality or school culture, and some of these districts have schools with strong communities and dedicated staff. Families should research specific school quality, visit in person, and ask about available programs. Also ask about open enrollment and magnet options that may offer alternatives to the default attendance-zone assignment.
Enrollment for Families in Zip Code 25703

Two homes on opposite ends of the same zip code may be assigned to different schools within the same district.
To confirm your specific school assignments, contact Cabell County School District at the number listed on the district website or visit the district’s official website.
