Reaching All Minds Academy

Summary:

Reaching All Minds Academy is a public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in Durham, North Carolina, with a student population of around 400 students that is predominantly Hispanic (78.25%) and African American (20.75%).

Despite its small student-teacher ratio, Reaching All Minds Academy has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools, with academic performance on state standardized tests generally below the state and district averages, particularly in reading and math. The school's performance varies significantly by student subgroup, with Hispanic and English Language Learner students generally performing better than African American and low socioeconomic status students. This suggests that the school may be struggling to effectively serve its diverse student population and may need to implement more targeted and effective interventions to address these achievement gaps.

When compared to the nearby schools, such as Glenn Elementary, KIPP Durham College Preparatory, and Eastway Elementary, Reaching All Minds Academy generally performs worse on state standardized tests, particularly in reading and math. However, some of the nearby charter schools also struggle with low academic performance, suggesting that the challenges faced by Reaching All Minds Academy may not be unique to the school. The school's unique demographic profile and the broader challenges faced by schools in the Durham Public Schools district indicate that a more comprehensive and targeted approach may be needed to address the school's performance issues and better support its diverse 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.
