Sharon Dawes Elementary School stands out for its exceptional 3rd-grade math proficiency rate of 76.2%, which is significantly higher than the Kanawha County (51.5%) and West Virginia (53%) averages.

The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.5 and higher-than-average spending per student of $15,642 may contribute to the strong 3rd-grade math performance.
While Sharon Dawes Elementary School has some academic strengths, particularly in 3rd-grade math, the overall data suggests room for improvement, especially in the upper elementary grades. Analyzing the school's curriculum, instructional methods, and resource allocation could help identify areas for targeted interventions and support to ensure students maintain their academic progress throughout their elementary education.
