Sam D Bundy Elementary

Summary:

Sam D Bundy Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmville, North Carolina, serving grades 3-5 with a total enrollment of 378 students. The school is part of the Pitt County Schools district, which is ranked 137 out of 242 districts in the state and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Sam D Bundy Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American (50.79%) and Hispanic (12.7%) students compared to the state average. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina elementary schools, with a ranking between 959 and 1121 out of 1502-1514 schools over the past few years. The school is rated 1-2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state. Student proficiency rates in mathematics, reading, and science are significantly lower than the Pitt County Schools district and the state of North Carolina averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate was 44.6%, compared to 61.3% for the district and 62.7% for the state. Additionally, over 98% of Sam D Bundy Elementary's students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

The performance gap between Sam D Bundy Elementary and the surrounding schools, such as Ridgewood Elementary and Creekside Elementary, which have significantly higher performance metrics and rankings, highlights the disparities in educational opportunities and outcomes within the same school district. This suggests that Sam D Bundy Elementary may be facing challenges in addressing the educational needs of its diverse student population, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, and that targeted interventions and support may be crucial in improving the school's performance and providing equitable educational opportunities for all 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.
