Academically, Loyd E Auman Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with significantly lower performance on state standardized tests compared to the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in mathematics ranged from 31.6% to 43.6%, compared to 51.1% to 57.1% for Cumberland County and 56.6% to 62.7% for North Carolina. The school's reading proficiency rates also lag behind, ranging from 32.9% to 46.2%, compared to 47% to 54.4% for the district and 48.7% to 52.8% for the state. However, the school's African American and multi-racial student subgroups perform relatively better, suggesting potential opportunities to learn from their success.

Loyd E Auman Elementary also has a very high percentage of students (over 99%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While Loyd E Auman Elementary struggles academically, many of the nearby New Century International Elementary, E Melvin Honeycutt Elementary, and other schools in the Cumberland County Schools district face similar challenges, suggesting that the issues may be systemic within the district.

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.

Open Quote The school overall was ok, my daughters teacher was a great teacher academic wise, but was too strict on the students as far as behavior. My other daughter teacher was good, I feel like she taught her everything she needed to go to the next grade Close Quote

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.
