Summary

Pratt Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Pratt, West Virginia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 147 students. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 22 out of 55 school districts in West Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Pratt Elementary School has had a consistently low statewide ranking over the past several years, ranking between 302 and 367 out of 355-408 West Virginia elementary schools. The school has received 0-2 stars from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state. Pratt Elementary's proficiency rates in Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science are significantly lower than the Kanawha County Schools district and the state of West Virginia averages across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Pratt Elementary's 5th-grade proficiency rates were 22.2% in Mathematics, 38.9% in English Language Arts, and 16.7% in Science, compared to the district's 41.4%, 46.8%, and 27.5%, respectively, and the state's 42%, 49.3%, and 33.3%. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with proficiency rates dropping across most subjects and grade levels.

Despite the school's relatively low student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. When compared to other nearby elementary schools within the Kanawha County Schools district, such as Chamberlain Elementary School, Malden Elementary School, and Marmet Elementary School, Pratt Elementary consistently performs worse across various academic measures. This suggests the need to examine the school's practices and identify areas for improvement, potentially learning from the strategies employed by higher-performing schools in the district.
