Summary

Mary Ingles Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Tad, West Virginia, serving 148 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.

Mary Ingles Elementary School has shown fluctuating academic performance, with its ranking among West Virginia elementary schools ranging from 32nd to 224th in recent years. While the school outperformed the district and state averages in 3rd-grade Mathematics and 4th-grade English Language Arts, it struggled in 5th-grade Science. The school has also seen significant variations in the performance of different student subgroups, with particularly low rankings for male students. The lack of data on the school's free and reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic context and its potential impact on academic outcomes.

When compared to nearby schools in the Kanawha County Schools district, Mary Ingles Elementary School's academic performance has been more erratic, while schools like Shoals Elementary School and Chamberlain Elementary School have shown more consistent results. The nearby schools also tend to have lower student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their more stable academic performance.
