The Experiential School of Greensboro

Summary:

The Experiential School of Greensboro is a public charter elementary and middle school serving grades K-8 in Greensboro, North Carolina, with a diverse student population. However, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools and maintained a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other schools in the state.

The school's academic performance is significantly below state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade math proficiency was 28.6% compared to the state average of 62.7%, and its 8th grade reading proficiency was 64.3% compared to the state average of 51.4%. The school's performance ranks in the bottom quarter of North Carolina elementary schools for most student subgroups, with its lowest-performing subgroup being students of low socioeconomic status, ranking in the bottom 5% of the state. Interestingly, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby Guilford County Schools district average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Bluford Elementary and Gillespie Park Elementary, The Experiential School of Greensboro performs significantly worse, even though those schools serve higher percentages of economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the racial makeup of the school has shifted over the past 3 years, with a decrease in the percentage of white students and an increase in the percentage of African American students, but this change in demographics does not appear to be correlated with improved academic performance.

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.

TESG is a remarkable school that has changed the direction of my middle schooler’s life in a great way. My first grader is learning to process his emotions and to be supportive of others. All three of my kids are challenged academically and socially to grow. The teachers and staff are highly trained and accessible. 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.
