It’s a pleasure, on behalf of the faculty and staff, to welcome you to Geneva Kent Elementary School.  It is our desire to help children excel in academic skills in a safe environment that fosters acceptance of others and provides a variety of positive experiences.  The cooperation of staff, the children, and the community has enabled us to meet this challenge and makes Geneva Kent a great place for learning.

 

Geneva Kent Elementary is a K-5 school located off Norway Avenue in Huntington, West Virginia.

We have 280 students and are in a friendly, child-oriented community. Though

  not a Title 1 school, we provide a variety of services and activities to our students. These include such things as an active Student Council, Jump Rope teams, a Russian Club, a SADD club, after school tutoring, modern library with a computer lab, and an excellent Response To Intervention program. We are also proud of the fact that we are a Professional Development School in partnership with Marshall University, and are in the process of becoming a 21st Century Model School.

 

A look at our No Child Left Behind data reveals that nearly 90% of our 3rd, 4th, and

5th grade students last year scored at Mastery or above in the Language Arts section

of the WESTEST.  We are very proud of that accomplishment.

 

Feel free to explore our web site.  We hope you will find the information here helpful and it will give you a glimpse into the wonderful learning environment at our school.

 

To contact our school call 528-5126.

 

 

 

Congratulations to our 4th and 5th grade students for the

highest math scores in Cabell County on the WESTEST 2.
