DUNBAR PRIMARY CENTER

DUNBAR PRIMARY CENTER is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Kanawha County Schools school district, located in DUNBAR, WV with about 300 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 21 teachers, DUNBAR PRIMARY CENTER has a student/teacher ratio of about 14:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

The facility functions as a central hub for the Dunbar community, emphasizing the partnership between educators, families, and local stakeholders to create a safe space for child development. By prioritizing a student-centered approach, DUNBAR PRIMARY CENTER aims to instill a love for learning during a critical period of brain development.
