Summary:
The city of Colerain, North Carolina has only one public school serving students in grades K-5 - Colerain Elementary. While the school has some areas of strength, it generally underperforms compared to the Bertie County Schools district and the state of North Carolina as a whole.
Colerain Elementary has a relatively small student population of 169 students, the majority of whom are African American (80.47%). The school struggles with academic performance, with proficiency rates in math, reading, and science lagging behind district and state averages. However, 3rd and 5th grade math proficiency rates are above average, indicating some pockets of success. The school also has a very high percentage (98.22%) of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting student achievement.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 15.3 to 1, Colerain Elementary has seen its ranking and star rating from SchoolDigger decline over the past three years, further indicating that the school is not keeping pace with other schools in the state. Targeted interventions and support, as well as a closer examination of the school's practices and resources, may be necessary to help Colerain Elementary improve and better serve its students.
