Hall Fletcher Elementary

Summary:

Hall Fletcher Elementary is a public magnet elementary school in Asheville, North Carolina, serving 307 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Asheville City Schools district, which is ranked 65 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

One of Hall Fletcher's key differentiators is its racial diversity, with a student population that is 55.37% White, 24.43% African American, 12.05% Hispanic, and 8.14% two or more races. This is higher than the nearby schools, which tend to have a larger percentage of White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency was 64.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 58.4% and the state's 62.7%. The school's statewide ranking has also fluctuated, ranging from a high of 409 out of 1,429 schools in 2016-2017 to a low of 1,169 out of 1,502 schools in 2022-2023.

Another notable finding is the significant differences in performance between student subgroups at Hall Fletcher. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's ranking for White students was 525 out of 1,166 schools (3 stars), while the ranking for African American students was 822 out of 924 schools (1 star). The school also struggles with the performance of low socioeconomic status students, ranking 1,276 out of 1,450 schools (1 star) in the same year. These disparities suggest that the school needs to address issues of equity and opportunity gaps within its student population.

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.

Open Quote We've been Hall Fletcher parents for the past three years and couldn't be happier with our experience. Both of us are High School educators and to see the kind of preparation and love the teachers put into their daily work inspires us during every visit. We've heard stories and reservations about what it used to be like, and that simply is not the case anymore. Close Quote

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.
