Summary

Saint Albans High School is a large public high school in Saint Albans, WV, serving 882 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Kanawha County Schools district. The school has a strong track record, consistently ranking in the top 20% of West Virginia high schools over the past decade, and currently holds a 4-star rating (17th out of 105 schools statewide).

Academically, Saint Albans outperforms both its district and the state average in all tested subjects. In the most recent school year, math proficiency was 32.5% (vs. 20.6% statewide), English Language Arts was 55.2% (vs. 51.2% statewide), and Science was 26.6% (vs. 23.6% statewide). Math is a particular strength—Saint Albans' proficiency rate surpasses nearby Sissonville High School (25.6%), South Charleston High School (18.7%), and Nitro High School (26.3%). Within Kanawha County, only George Washington High School ranks higher, though it leads by a notable margin in every subject. Saint Albans also compares favorably to Putnam County Schools—it outperforms Poca High School but trails top-ranked Winfield High School and Hurricane High School.

The school maintains a high and stable graduation rate (91.8% in 2024-2025), exceeding its district's rate. However, recent data shows some areas needing attention. While male students ranked 14th statewide (4 stars), female students ranked 18th (4 stars)—a gap that widened significantly in 2023-2024. More concerning, rankings for Special Education students dropped from 4 stars to 2 stars, and Low Socioeconomic Status students fell from 4 stars to 2 stars in the most recent year. This suggests that while Saint Albans excels overall, it may be facing challenges in providing equitable support to all student populations.
