Summary:
Ridgeview Charter School is the sole elementary school located within the Ridgeview Charter School district in Gastonia, North Carolina. Serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade, this school has consistently underperformed compared to other elementary schools in the state, ranking near the bottom for the past three academic years.
According to the data, Ridgeview Charter School has a predominantly African American student population (73.23%) and a very high percentage of students (92.13%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant economic disadvantage. The school's test scores are dramatically lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with proficiency rates in some cases less than half the state average.
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.2, which is generally considered a positive factor for student learning, Ridgeview Charter School has struggled to provide a high-quality education to its students. The persistent and systemic issues with academic achievement, as well as the significant gaps in proficiency, suggest that the school requires substantial interventions and support to improve student outcomes and better serve the needs of its economically disadvantaged and predominantly minority student population.
