Farmville Middle faces significant challenges compared to nearby schools. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (53.85%) than surrounding schools, which range from 26% to 70.29% African American. Academically, Farmville Middle consistently underperforms the district and state averages on End-of-Grade tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 32.1% to 48.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, while the district and state averages were significantly higher. The school has ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools for the past 10 years, with a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Student subgroup performance also varies greatly, with African American, Hispanic, and Special Education students struggling to meet proficiency standards.

Farmville Middle's high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, over 99% of whom qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be significantly impacting the school's performance. Nearby schools, such as Hope Middle, A.G. Cox Middle, and Speight Middle, generally outperform Farmville Middle, with more diverse student populations and lower percentages of economically disadvantaged students. By addressing the specific challenges faced by Farmville Middle, such as the needs of its diverse student population and the high level of economic disadvantage, the school could potentially make strides in improving educational outcomes for its students.

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.
