Pratt Elementary School

Summary:

Pratt Elementary School is a public elementary school in Pratt, West Virginia, serving 161 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Kanawha County Schools district, which is ranked 30 out of 55 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Pratt Elementary School faces several challenges. It has a significantly higher percentage of white students (85.09%) compared to the state and district averages, and its academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is consistently lower than the district and state across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 50% of 3rd-grade students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 52.1% for the district and 53.2% for the state. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with white students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing particularly poorly.

Despite these challenges, Pratt Elementary School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 10.7 to 14.6 over the past three school years. This is lower than the ratios of many nearby schools, such as Midland Trail Elementary and Chesapeake Elementary, which have significantly higher academic achievement and rankings. Understanding the factors that contribute to the success of these schools could provide valuable insights for Pratt Elementary School as it works to improve its own academic outcomes.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
