Eastern Elementary

Summary:

Eastern Elementary is a public elementary school located in Greenville, North Carolina, serving 768 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Pitt County Schools district, which is ranked 137 out of 242 school districts in the state.

Eastern Elementary has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American students (50.13%) compared to the state average. The school's academic performance is generally on par with or slightly above the district and state averages, but its reading scores consistently lag behind. While the school performs well for its White students, ranking in the top 20% of North Carolina elementary schools in this category, it struggles to support the academic achievement of other subgroups, particularly Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students. With a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, the school serves a predominantly low-income community.

When compared to nearby schools, Eastern Elementary generally performs on par or slightly better in terms of academic achievement, particularly in mathematics. However, the school lags behind higher-performing schools like Ridgewood Elementary and Wintergreen Intermediate in both academic performance and overall Pitt County Schools rankings. The school has maintained a consistent 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a relatively stable academic performance compared to other North Carolina elementary schools.

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.
