Summary:
The city of Hamptonville, North Carolina has one public elementary school, West Yadkin Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 449 students. The school is part of the Yadkin County Schools district, which is ranked 126 out of 242 school districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
West Yadkin Elementary's academic performance on state standardized tests is generally below the Yadkin County Schools and North Carolina state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. The school's proficiency rates range from 31.4% to 55.6% in mathematics, 36.1% to 41.4% in reading, and 54.1% in science (5th grade). Compared to the district and state, the school's performance has declined over the past three school years, with its ranking dropping from 698 out of 1,514 North Carolina elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 1,178 out of 1,505 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (67.26%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
While West Yadkin Elementary has a slightly lower student-teacher ratio of 15.3 compared to the national average, and its per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $9,702, which is slightly higher than the national average, these factors have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the school. The steady decline in the school's state ranking and proficiency rates on standardized tests over the past three years is a concerning trend that warrants further investigation, and the school may need to explore additional support and resources to address the challenges faced by its economically disadvantaged student population.
