Summary:
The city of Roaring River, North Carolina has only one school, Roaring River Elementary School, which serves students from kindergarten through 5th grade. The school is part of the Wilkes County Schools district and faces some academic challenges, though it also has some strengths.
Roaring River Elementary School has a predominantly white student population, with a high percentage of students (97.74%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. The school's academic performance is mixed, with mathematics and reading proficiency rates below the district and state averages, but 5th-grade science proficiency rates significantly higher than the district and state. The school's ranking and rating have fluctuated over the past three years, suggesting inconsistent performance.
Despite these challenges, Roaring River Elementary School has some positive attributes, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 12.9 to 1. The school's strong 5th-grade science proficiency rates could be an area of focus and potential strength that the school can build upon to improve its overall academic performance. However, the school's high poverty rates and inconsistent academic performance suggest the need for a more comprehensive and targeted approach to improving student outcomes and ensuring consistent, high-quality education for all students.
