Northeast Elementary

Summary:

Northeast Elementary is a public school in Pinetown, North Carolina, serving 388 students in grades PK-8. The school is part of the Beaufort County Schools district, which is ranked 116 out of 242 districts in the state.

Northeast Elementary faces several key challenges. It has a diverse student population, with nearly half of its students being White, a quarter African American, and the remainder Hispanic or multi-racial. However, the school consistently ranks in the bottom third of North Carolina elementary schools, with test scores below the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 62.1%, compared to the district's 66.6% and the state's 62.7%. Additionally, over 99% of Northeast Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

Compared to nearby schools, Northeast Elementary underperforms. Bath Elementary, located about 7 miles away, consistently ranks in the top 20% of North Carolina elementary schools and outperforms Northeast Elementary across various academic measures. The school's performance has also been declining over the past decade, suggesting the need for additional resources and support to address the unique needs of its diverse and economically disadvantaged 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.

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.
