Summary:
The city of Ruffin, North Carolina is home to a single elementary school, Lincoln Elementary, which serves grades PK-5 and has a total enrollment of 308 students. Lincoln Elementary is part of the Rockingham County Schools district, which is ranked 160 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
While Lincoln Elementary has a diverse student population, with 65.26% White, 14.61% African American, 9.74% Hispanic, and other racial groups represented, the school has consistently performed below the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency over the past two school years. However, the school's exceptional science proficiency rates, significantly higher than the state and district averages, suggest that the school may have a strong focus on science education or effective teaching strategies in this subject area. Additionally, the high percentage of students (67.86%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch indicates that Lincoln Elementary serves a predominantly low-income community, which may present unique challenges and require targeted resources and support.
Despite the school's below-average performance in mathematics and reading, Lincoln Elementary maintains a stable student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is within the typical range for elementary schools. This suggests that the school has an adequate number of teachers to support its student population. Overall, the data highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to Lincoln Elementary's academic performance and the strategies the school employs to support its high-poverty student population.
