Summary

Weberwood Elementary School in Charleston, WV, is a mid-sized school serving 247 students in grades PK through 5 as part of the Kanawha County Schools district.

Weberwood has a clear academic identity: it is a math and science powerhouse, especially in the upper grades. In the most recent testing year, 56% of students were proficient in math, well above the district (41.3%) and state (39.4%) averages. The 5th grade class is particularly strong, with 60.5% proficiency in both math and English Language Arts, and 47.4% proficiency in science—far exceeding nearby schools like Bridgeview Elementary School (17.3% science) and Richmond Elementary School (8% science). The school also shows a remarkable growth pattern: students arrive in 3rd grade slightly below district averages in reading and math, but by 5th grade they significantly outperform their peers across the district. This suggests the school is highly effective at developing skills over time.

However, there are challenges. The school's overall state ranking has slipped from a top-10% school (5 stars) to a solidly average 3-star rating (65th percentile), driven largely by a sharp decline in outcomes for students from low-income households—a subgroup that now ranks in the bottom 15% statewide. Early-grade reading is also a concern, with 3rd grade ELA proficiency (41%) trailing the state average (44.6%). That said, there are encouraging signs of recovery: the school improved from 163rd to 124th in state rankings this year, and the current 5th grade cohort posted exceptional results. While nearby Holz Elementary School (ranked 2nd) and Kenna Elementary School (ranked 7th) outperform Weberwood, it remains a competitive choice for families seeking strong math and science instruction with a proven track record of student growth.

I have three children that have all attended Weberwood. It is a great neighborhood school. I have had good experiences with almost all of the staff and teachers there. It is consistently one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in the state. I would not hesitate to recommend Weberwood to anyone who is looking for a great school for their kids! Close Quote
