Beaver Dam Elementary

Summary:

Beaver Dam Elementary is a public elementary school in Roseboro, North Carolina, serving 86 students in grades K-5. Despite facing significant socioeconomic challenges, with over 96% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, the school consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in the state.

Beaver Dam Elementary's academic performance is truly exceptional, with students significantly outperforming the district and state averages in proficiency rates for End-of-Grade (EOG) tests in Mathematics, Reading, and Science. The school has maintained a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade, a remarkable achievement that sets it apart from nearby schools in the Cumberland County Schools, Clinton City Schools, and Sampson County Schools districts.

Beaver Dam Elementary's success is particularly noteworthy given its predominantly white student population, which contrasts with the more diverse racial makeup of nearby schools like Sunset Avenue Elementary and Alderman Road Elementary. This raises questions about the school's ability to provide a diverse and inclusive learning environment, and the potential impact on the educational experiences of students from underrepresented racial groups. Nevertheless, Beaver Dam Elementary's commitment to equity and its ability to overcome socioeconomic challenges through targeted interventions and support are truly inspiring.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
