Summary:

Bonnie Cone Classical Academy is a public charter elementary school in Huntersville, North Carolina, serving students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school has seen a shift in its racial demographics in recent years, with a decrease in white students and an increase in African American and Hispanic students.

Academically, Bonnie Cone Classical Academy has consistently outperformed the state average in mathematics and reading proficiency, particularly in 3rd grade mathematics and 6th grade reading. However, the school's performance in 5th grade science and 8th grade mathematics is significantly below the state average. The school has shown strong performance for its African American students, ranking 240 out of 924 North Carolina elementary schools, but lower performance for its Hispanic students, ranking 902 out of 915.

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.
