Best Public Schools in Zip Code 25315

Summary:

The 25315 zip code area is home to two elementary schools - Chesapeake Elementary School and Marmet Elementary School. While both schools serve a predominantly white student population, Chesapeake Elementary stands out as the higher-performing school, consistently ranking higher in the statewide SchoolDigger rankings and outperforming Marmet Elementary on most state assessment metrics, particularly in English Language Arts.

Marmet Elementary has struggled more academically, ranking in the bottom quartile of Kanawha County elementary schools in the 2023-2024 school year. Its proficiency rates on state math, ELA, and science assessments are significantly below the Kanawha County and state averages. This performance gap between the two schools is quite significant, with Chesapeake Elementary outperforming Marmet Elementary by 20-30 percentage points on most state assessment measures.

While Chesapeake Elementary spends more per student than Marmet Elementary, this higher funding does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as both schools struggle compared to the Kanawha County and statewide averages on state assessments. This suggests broader challenges facing elementary schools in this region that may require further investigation.
