Youngsville Academy

Summary:

Youngsville Academy is a public charter school located in Youngsville, North Carolina, serving 526 students from kindergarten to 10th grade. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, particularly in mathematics and reading, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio.

Youngsville Academy's academic excellence is evident in its test scores, which are significantly higher than the nearby charter schools, such as Henderson Collegiate, Falls Lake Academy, East Wake Academy, and Franklin Academy. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Youngsville Academy's 8th-grade students achieved 74.4% proficiency in mathematics, compared to the state average of 46.9%, and 79.5% proficiency in reading, compared to the state average of 51.4%.

While Youngsville Academy's academic performance is impressive, the school's student population is predominantly White (72.81%), which differs from the more diverse student populations of nearby charter schools, such as Henderson Collegiate, which has a majority African American student body (62.5%). Additionally, Youngsville Academy does not provide data on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, making it difficult to assess the school's socioeconomic profile in comparison to its academic success.

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 Very unprofessional principal and his administration staff(his daughter in law) I pulled my daughter out of this school. I have never seen a school run so poorly. They need a new principal to focus on the kids and communicate with parents not ignore emails 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.
