The Institute Development Young Leaders

Summary:

The Institute Development Young Leaders is a public charter elementary school serving 397 students in grades K-8 in Durham, North Carolina, with a diverse student population that is predominantly African American and Hispanic.

Despite its diverse student body, The Institute Development Young Leaders consistently underperforms compared to state and local averages on standardized tests, with proficiency rates ranging from 22.2% to 59.5% in math and 22.2% to 50% in reading, significantly lower than the state averages. The school has been ranked in the bottom 25% of North Carolina elementary schools for the past several years, placing it in the lowest-performing category. Student performance varies significantly by subgroup, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than the overall school, while female and male students, as well as English Language Learners and low-socioeconomic status students, perform the best.

Compared to nearby schools in the Wake County and Durham Public School districts, such as Alston Ridge Elementary and Pearsontown Elementary, The Institute Development Young Leaders performs significantly worse, with proficiency rates 30-50 percentage points lower in math and reading. Despite having a relatively high student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, the school's per-student spending is comparable, suggesting that factors beyond funding may be contributing to its underperformance.

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 My son have experience bullying from his 5th grade ELA teacher at the institute for the development of young leaders located 4300 S Miami Blvd Durham NC 27703. She demonstrated ignorance and unprofessional behaviors by using the research statistics of the school scoring below 20 testing average as an overall school against my child, not communicating effectively regarding classwork, refused to assist my child with the appropriate homework assignments so my child would not get behind in class, took my child school computer away where it was extremely difficult to complete the homework assigned for the ELA class home because all the recommended applications are on the computer, and mocking my child. When I address the concerns at the school meeting, my son was removed from the school because they did not like that I used the words ignorance and unprofessional to describe the ELA teacher’s behavior. It was unpleasant experience having my child at this school. My child was up late every night as a 5th grader completing excessive homework online. Sometimes my child was given more than a 100 questions on one lesson per subject. Also, I had concerns about my child spending so much time on the computer in class and at home. I wish that I never enrolled my child in this school and I feel terrible as a parent that I put my child through so much humiliation and tiredness from the excessive homework assigned to my child. It is shameful to see a teacher and/or staff want to hindered a child’s academic growth because of some biased and concerns that I have with the school. This speaks a lot and still shows ignorance and unprofessional behavior from some of the staff at IDYL. 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.
