MARY INGLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

MARY INGLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is a public elementary school that is part of the Kanawha County Schools school district, located in CHARLESTON, WV with about 158 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 12 teachers, MARY INGLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL has a student/teacher ratio of about 13:1. 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.

MARY INGLES ELEMENTARY SCHOOL is located in the Big Bottom Hollow area of Charleston, West Virginia. As part of the Kanawha County School District, the school serves the local community by providing foundational education to elementary-aged students. It is named in honor of Mary Draper Ingles, a historical figure from the 18th century who is famously recognized for her survival and escape after being captured during the French and Indian War, an event deeply tied to the history of the Appalachian region.

The school functions as a community hub, focusing on the academic and social development of its students within a suburban/rural setting. Like other institutions in the Kanawha County system, Mary Ingles Elementary typically emphasizes core curriculum standards, community engagement, and the integration of local history into the educational experience. It remains a focal point for families in the Charleston area, striving to provide a supportive environment that prepares young learners for their transition to middle school.
