J W Coon Elementary

Summary:

J W Coon Elementary is a public elementary school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving 199 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade as part of the Cumberland County Schools district.

While J W Coon Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school consistently ranks in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools and underperforms the district and state averages on standardized tests in mathematics, reading, and science. This is likely due to the school's extremely high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with over 98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Interestingly, some nearby schools like Vanstory Hills Elementary demonstrate stronger academic performance, ranking much higher and outperforming J W Coon Elementary and the district/state averages.

Further analysis reveals disparities in the academic achievement of different student subgroups within J W Coon Elementary. For example, the school's ranking for female students is generally higher than the overall school ranking, while the ranking for male students is lower. Similarly, the ranking for African American students is higher than the overall school ranking, while the ranking for White students is lower. Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools, these resources do not appear to be effectively translating into improved student outcomes, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to address the unique challenges faced by J W Coon Elementary.

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.
