Summary

Sissonville Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in Sissonville, West Virginia, which is part of the Kanawha County Schools district. The school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking, dropping from 37th out of 399 schools in 2016-2017 to 195th out of 355 schools in the most recent 2024-2025 ranking.

Academically, Sissonville Elementary has struggled compared to the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in math and English language arts were below the Kanawha County and West Virginia averages for 3rd and 4th grades. For example, in 4th grade math, Sissonville Elementary had a 36.6% proficiency rate compared to 51.5% for Kanawha County and 50.3% for the state. Additionally, the school has significant achievement gaps between different student subgroups, with its rankings for female, male, and white students all in the bottom half of West Virginia elementary schools, and its ranking for special education students particularly low at 172nd out of 183 schools in 2023-2024.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Kanawha County district, Sissonville Elementary generally underperforms. For instance, Flinn Elementary, which is only 4 miles away, had significantly higher proficiency rates in math and English language arts for 3rd and 4th grades. The absence of recent free/reduced lunch data from Sissonville Elementary also makes it difficult to fully understand the socioeconomic context of the school and how it may be impacting student performance.
