Summary

Anne Bailey Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Saint Albans, WV, serving 221 students within the Kanawha County Schools district. The school is in the midst of a genuine turnaround, climbing from the 27th percentile statewide in 2022-2023 to the 51st percentile in 2025-2026—a 24-point jump in just three years.

One of the most striking strengths is the school's work with students from low-income backgrounds. Anne Bailey ranks in the 70th percentile statewide for this group, earning a 4-star rating, which suggests its instructional strategies are particularly effective at closing achievement gaps. The school also shines in mathematics, with a 52.2% proficiency rate that beats both the district (41.3%) and state (39.4%) averages. Perhaps most impressive is the dramatic improvement among male students, who jumped from the 39th to the 75th percentile in a single year. With a student-teacher ratio of just 9.8:1—the lowest among nearby schools like Scott Teays Elementary (20:1) and Lakewood Elementary (15.8:1)—students receive significantly more individualized attention than peers at neighboring schools.

There are areas to watch. Third-grade reading proficiency (27.8%) trails the state average by nearly 17 points, though this appears to be a temporary challenge since 4th and 5th grade ELA scores exceed state averages. Science scores have also been inconsistent, fluctuating dramatically year to year. Additionally, while Anne Bailey spends more per student ($13,880) than higher-performing nearby schools like Rock Branch Elementary ($12,718) and Eastbrook Elementary, the academic returns are still catching up. Overall, this is a school on the rise, particularly for students who often get left behind.
