Summary

Point Harmony Elementary School is a PK-5 school in Cross Lanes, WV, serving 440 students within the Kanawha County Schools district. The school has experienced a significant decline over the past decade, dropping from the 73rd percentile statewide in 2017-2018 to the 29th percentile in 2025-2026, and now holds a 1-star rating.

One of the most striking findings is the comparison with Cross Lanes Elementary School, located just 1.18 miles away on the same road. While Point Harmony has declined, Cross Lanes has consistently ranked in the 71st-78th percentile with 4-star ratings. In the most recent testing year, Cross Lanes achieved 63.8% math proficiency and 53.5% ELA proficiency, compared to Point Harmony's 45.9% and 40.6% respectively. This dramatic divergence between two schools serving the same community raises important questions about school-level factors. Additionally, nearby Rock Branch Elementary School in Putnam County Schools ranks 9th in the state (97th percentile) with 79.8% math proficiency, highlighting educational inequities that can exist even within close geographic proximity.

Point Harmony shows a distinctive pattern where math proficiency (45.9%) exceeds ELA proficiency (40.6%), running counter to district and state trends. The school's 5th grade science scores have been a persistent weakness, ranging from 16.7% to 28.6% over the past four years, consistently below state averages. Subgroup performance reveals concerning disparities, with Low Socio Economic Status students ranking in the 10th percentile and Special Education students in the 11th percentile statewide. The school's per-student spending of $11,336 is the lowest among comparable area schools, and its student-teacher ratio of 15.7 is among the highest. While the school once demonstrated notable success with diverse student populations in 2017-2018, those strengths have faded. For parents considering this school, the comparison with Cross Lanes Elementary—serving the same community with better outcomes—may be worth exploring.
