Marmet Elementary School

Marmet Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Marmet, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 112. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 30 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Marmet Elementary School stands out for its significantly higher percentage of white students compared to the surrounding schools, ranging from 91.07% to 99.15% over the past three school years. This lack of racial diversity is in contrast to the more diverse student populations at nearby schools like Piedmont Year-round Education and Holz Elementary School. Academically, Marmet Elementary has consistently underperformed compared to the Kanawha County Schools district and the state of West Virginia, with proficiency rates in Math and English Language Arts significantly lower than the district and state averages across all grade levels. This has resulted in the school ranking in the bottom quarter of West Virginia elementary schools for the past several years, placing it in the bottom 10% statewide.

Marmet Elementary School's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as male students, African American students, Hispanic students, and students with low socioeconomic status. These subgroups consistently rank in the bottom quarter of their respective categories among West Virginia elementary schools, indicating that the school may not be effectively meeting the needs of all its students. This, combined with the school's lack of racial diversity and persistent academic underperformance, suggests that Marmet Elementary School faces significant challenges that require a comprehensive review and targeted interventions to address the identified areas of concern.
