Montclair Elementary

Summary:

Montclair Elementary is a public elementary school in Fayetteville, North Carolina, serving 418 students in grades PK-5. Despite its diverse student population, the school's academic performance lags behind both the Cumberland County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages.

Montclair Elementary's student body is more racially diverse than nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (49.76%) and Hispanic (21.77%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by End-of-Grade (EOG) test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages across various grade levels and subjects. For example, while Montclair's 3rd-grade math proficiency (72.4%) was higher than the district (57.1%) and state (62.7%) averages, its 4th-grade (48.4%) and 5th-grade (32.8%) math proficiency were significantly lower. The school's reading and 5th-grade science proficiency rates also lagged behind the district and state.

Montclair Elementary's performance varies widely among different student subgroups. While African American and Hispanic students generally perform better than the overall school, white, disabled, English Language Learner, and low-income students struggle, with their proficiency rates ranking in the bottom third or bottom 20% of North Carolina elementary schools. This highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of these underperforming groups. Nearby schools like Sherwood Park Elementary, Ponderosa Elementary, and Vanstory Hills Elementary demonstrate higher academic achievement, suggesting opportunities for Montclair to learn from their successful practices.

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.
