Summary

Bridgeview Elementary School is a public elementary school in South Charleston, West Virginia, serving 421 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Bridgeview Elementary School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools, with a 0-1 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. The school's academic performance, as measured by the percentage of students proficient or better on the West Virginia Assessment, is significantly lower than the Kanawha County Schools and West Virginia state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 38.9%, compared to 51.5% for Kanawha County and 53% for the state.

However, Bridgeview Elementary School's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. The school performs relatively well for Asian and African American students, ranking in the top half of West Virginia elementary schools in those categories. Additionally, the school is located in close proximity to several other Kanawha County elementary schools, such as Weberwood Elementary, Kenna Elementary, and Montrose Elementary, that have significantly higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to Bridgeview's challenges.
