Kenna Elementary School is a consistently high-performing institution, ranking in the top 25% of West Virginia elementary schools over the past 3 years. The school's performance on state assessments is generally above the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics, with 63.9% of 3rd graders, 66.7% of 4th graders, and 31.6% of 5th graders scoring proficient or better on the math assessment, compared to state averages of 53.2%, 47.6%, and 39.1% respectively. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 12.4 is lower than the state average, indicating smaller class sizes and potentially more individualized attention for students.
While Kenna Elementary School's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is overwhelmingly White, with only small percentages of other racial/ethnic groups represented. This lack of diversity may be an area for the school and district to consider addressing. However, the school's higher-than-average spending per student of $12,380 (2018-2019) and focus on small class sizes suggest that Kenna Elementary is providing a high-quality education for its students, making it a standout institution in the region.
