Best Public Schools in Tad, WV

Summary:

The city of Tad, West Virginia has only one school, Mary Ingles Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 30 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Mary Ingles Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with 97.04% of students being white. The school's performance on the West Virginia Assessment tests is mixed, with 5th-grade students performing well in English Language Arts but lagging behind the district and state averages in Mathematics and Science. The school's ranking on the SchoolDigger scale has declined over the past three years, from a 4-star rating in 2021-2022 to a 3-star rating in 2023-2024. The school's spending per student is higher than the state average, but it's unclear how this translates to student outcomes. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.2 is lower than the state average, which could be a positive factor in student learning and engagement.

Overall, the data suggests that Mary Ingles Elementary School has some areas of strength, such as its 5th-grade English Language Arts performance, but also faces challenges in other academic areas compared to the district and state averages. The school's declining SchoolDigger ranking over the past three years is a concern and warrants further investigation into the factors contributing to this trend.
