Chamberlain Elementary School

Summary:

Chamberlain Elementary School is a public elementary school in Charleston, West Virginia, serving 213 students in grades PK-5. 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.

Chamberlain Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 66.67% White, 17.37% African American, 4.23% Asian, and 10.8% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Language Arts generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 3rd and 5th grades. Interestingly, the school has performed better for male students, African American students, and English Language Learners, but has struggled with Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students.

Chamberlain Elementary's spending per student is higher than nearby schools at $13,162, but its statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 22nd out of 422 West Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 216th out of 368 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance has been trending downward compared to other schools in the state, and further investigation may be needed to identify the root causes and develop targeted strategies for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
