Summary:
The city of Chesapeake, West Virginia has only one school, Chesapeake Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is predominantly White (93.04%), with small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, its academic performance has been a concern, with proficiency rates on the West Virginia Assessment declining from the 2022-2023 school year to the 2023-2024 school year and falling below the Kanawha County and state averages in Math, English Language Arts, and Science.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $15,327 in the 2018-2019 school year, the data suggests that Chesapeake Elementary School faces challenges in terms of academic performance and student diversity. The lack of racial/ethnic diversity in the student population may impact the educational experience and opportunities for students. Additionally, the small size of the school, with only 115 students enrolled, could limit the range of educational and extracurricular offerings available to students.
Overall, the data highlights the need for further analysis and investigation into the factors contributing to Chesapeake Elementary School's academic performance and the potential ways to address the challenges facing the school. Improving student outcomes and fostering a more diverse and inclusive learning environment should be key priorities for the school and the broader Kanawha County education system.
