Summary

Overbrook Elementary School in Charleston, WV, serves 375 students from Pre-K through 5th grade and is part of the Kanawha County Schools district. The school has earned a 5-star rating and ranks in the 91st percentile statewide, placing it 31st out of 355 elementary schools in West Virginia.

Overbrook delivers exceptional academic results that far exceed district and state averages. In math, 70.1% of students are proficient compared to 41.3% district and 39.4% state averages. In English Language Arts, 65.9% are proficient versus 47.7% district and 47.6% state averages. This strong performance holds steady across all grade levels—3rd, 4th, and 5th graders all score well above their peers in both subjects. Science scores are also impressive, with 47.6% proficiency versus 29.6% district and 34.6% state averages. The school achieves these results with a student-teacher ratio of 17:1, which is higher than most nearby schools, yet it still outperforms the majority of its neighbors. Only Holz Elementary (ranked 2nd) and Kenna Elementary (ranked 7th) achieve better results in the immediate area. Overbrook significantly outpaces schools like Ruthlawn Elementary, Richmond Elementary, and Kanawha City Elementary in both subjects.

Overbrook has maintained top-10% statewide rankings for the past decade, never falling below the 90th percentile. The school is particularly effective at supporting students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with those students ranking in the 78th percentile and showing consistent improvement. One area needing attention is special education performance, which has declined significantly in recent years. Additionally, female students currently outperform male students by a notable margin. While Overbrook's historical peak was in the top 15 schools statewide, it remains a consistently excellent choice for families seeking strong academic outcomes in the Charleston area.
