Cumberland Road Elementary

Summary:

Cumberland Road Elementary is a public elementary school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving 329 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Cumberland County Schools district, which is ranked 138 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Cumberland Road Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of African American students (49.54%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 26.87% to 82.16%. Additionally, over 99% of the school's students receive free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, much higher than the nearby schools, which range from 98.31% to 99.51%. The school's student performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the nearby schools and the district/state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 68.8%, compared to the district's 57.1% and the state's 62.7%. Cumberland Road Elementary's statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, but it has generally been in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent year, lower than the nearby schools, which range from 1 to 4 stars.

While Cumberland Road Elementary's overall performance is relatively low, the school's African American students have performed significantly better than their peers at the school, ranking in the top 25% of North Carolina elementary schools for this subgroup in recent years. However, the school's performance has been quite variable over the years, with the school's ranking ranging from 701 to 1,127 out of over 1,400 North Carolina elementary schools. When compared to the nearby schools, such as Vanstory Hills Elementary, Alma O Easom Elementary, and William H Owen Elementary, Cumberland Road Elementary generally performs worse on state assessments, with lower proficiency rates across most grade levels and subject areas. Despite spending a relatively high amount per student ($11,146 in 2018-2019) compared to the nearby schools, which range from $8,221 to $15,400 per student, this higher spending does not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the school.

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.
