Success Institute Charter

Q: Is Success Institute Charter a good school?

Success Institute Charter ranks 1115 th of 1505 North Carolina elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 1 star out of 5.

Summary:

Success Institute Charter is a small public charter elementary school serving around 95 students in grades K-8 in Statesville, North Carolina. The school has a predominantly African American student population, with around 78% of students identifying as such.

Despite serving a student population that is predominantly from low-income families, with 97% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Success Institute Charter has consistently underperformed academically compared to nearby Scotts Elementary, Shepherd Elementary, and other public schools in the Iredell-Statesville Schools district. The school's proficiency rates on state standardized tests range from 10% to 70% in math and 10% to 58.3% in reading, significantly lower than the state averages of 46.9% to 62.7% in math and 48.4% to 52.8% in reading.

Further analysis reveals that Success Institute Charter may be facing resource challenges, with a relatively high student-to-teacher ratio ranging from 19.4 to 26.2 over the past three school years, higher than the ratios at the nearby public schools (12.6 to 15.9). Additionally, the school's district, Success Institute Charter School District, is ranked 193 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is one of the lower-performing districts in the state. These factors suggest that the school may be struggling to effectively serve its student population and provide the necessary resources and support for student learning.

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.
