Cheat Lake Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25 elementary schools in West Virginia, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, 68.1% of 3rd graders, 66.7% of 4th graders, and 69.6% of 5th graders at Cheat Lake Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 53.2%, 47.6%, and 39.1% at the state level, respectively. The school also excels in the performance of various student subgroups, including female students, male students, White students, and multi-racial students, who consistently rank among the top schools in the state.
However, Cheat Lake Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, with over 90% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the racial diversity seen in many of the nearby schools, such as Brookhaven Elementary and Ridgedale Elementary. Additionally, the school has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch compared to the state average, indicating a relatively higher socioeconomic status of the student population. These factors raise questions about the school's ability to provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment for all students.
