Dunbar Intermediate Center

Summary:

Dunbar Intermediate Center is a public elementary school in Dunbar, West Virginia, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 252 students. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 30th out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Dunbar Intermediate Center consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of West Virginia elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments significantly below the Kanawha County and West Virginia averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, only 13.5% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in Math and Science, compared to 36.3% and 29.1% for Kanawha County, respectively. However, the school has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (23.02%) and multi-racial (11.9%) students. Additionally, 69.08% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.5 to 14 students per teacher in recent years, Dunbar Intermediate Center has consistently struggled with academic achievement. The school's performance data shows significant achievement gaps between different racial groups, with African American students ranking 5th out of 16 West Virginia elementary schools, while White students ranked 309th out of 373 schools in 2021-2022. Addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as through targeted interventions and support, will be crucial for improving educational outcomes for the students at Dunbar Intermediate Center.

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.
