Point Harmony Elementary School

Summary:

Point Harmony Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Cross Lanes, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 487. 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.

Point Harmony has a predominantly white student population, with 85.01% of students identifying as white, which is higher than the state average and the nearby schools in the Kanawha County district, such as Dunbar Primary Center and Dunbar Intermediate Center, which have more racially diverse student populations. The school's academic performance, as measured by the West Virginia Assessment, is mixed, with proficiency rates in mathematics ranging from 44.6% to 56.7% across grades 3-5, which is generally higher than the Kanawha County and state averages, but proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.2% to 43.4%) and Science (25.9%) are lower than the district and state averages. Point Harmony's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking highly for male students and multi-racial students, but struggling with female students, English Language Learners, and students with low socioeconomic status.

Over the years, Point Harmony's statewide ranking has declined, from a high of 62 out of 422 West Virginia elementary schools in 2013-2014 to a ranking of 218 out of 368 in 2023-2024, with a corresponding drop in its SchoolDigger star rating from 4 to 2 stars. This is in contrast to the nearby Poca Elementary and Rock Branch Elementary schools, which are in the Putnam County district and have consistently higher proficiency rates than the state and district averages. Point Harmony also has a relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
