Summary

Overbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Charleston, West Virginia, serving 337 students in grades K-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.

Overbrook Elementary has consistently performed well, ranking among the top 40 elementary schools in West Virginia for the past several years. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 26th out of 355 elementary schools in the state and received a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. Overbrook's students consistently outperform the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly strong performance in mathematics and English Language Arts. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.6 to 18.3, also contributes to its success.

While Overbrook Elementary's overall performance is excellent, the school faces some challenges with special education and English language learner students, whose performance lags behind the school's overall strong academic achievement. Nearby schools like Holz Elementary and Weberwood Elementary also perform well, but Overbrook remains a standout in the Kanawha County Schools district.
