Summary:

Lilesville Elementary is a public elementary school in Lilesville, North Carolina, serving 215 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Anson County Schools district, which is ranked 168 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Lilesville Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of African American students (48.84%) and a lower percentage of White students (36.74%) compared to nearby schools. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade. This is significantly lower than the nearby Peachland-Polkton Elementary and Ansonville Elementary, which have 4-star and 3-star ratings, respectively. Lilesville Elementary's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state standardized tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in reading and math.

The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Lilesville Elementary, with over 98% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. The achievement gap between Lilesville Elementary and the state and district averages appears to be widening over time, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the specific needs of the student population. By understanding the school's strengths and weaknesses, the district and community can work together to develop strategies to improve educational outcomes for the students of Lilesville Elementary.

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.
