Summary

Chesapeake Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Chesapeake, West Virginia, with 118 students. 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.

Academically, Chesapeake Elementary School has struggled compared to the Kanawha County and West Virginia averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math, English Language Arts, and Science were significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the past several years, from 136 out of 368 West Virginia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 340 out of 355 in 2024-2025, with a corresponding decrease in its SchoolDigger star rating from 3 to 0 stars. However, the school's special education students have performed relatively well, with the school ranking in the top 40% of West Virginia elementary schools for this subgroup in the 2024-2025 school year.

Compared to nearby schools in the Kanawha County district, such as Chamberlain Elementary, Mary Ingles Elementary, and Midland Trail Elementary, Chesapeake Elementary School generally underperforms in academic proficiency across all subjects and grade levels. These nearby schools also have higher statewide rankings and star ratings from SchoolDigger. The school's low performance may be related to its high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, as it ranked in the bottom 10% of West Virginia elementary schools for this student subgroup in the 2024-2025 school year.
