Doral Academy of North Carolina

Summary:

Doral Academy of North Carolina is a public charter elementary school in Raleigh, North Carolina, serving 333 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. This high-performing school consistently outpaces the state average in academic proficiency, with particularly strong results for its diverse student population.

Doral Academy's academic excellence is evident across all grade levels and subject areas. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's 3rd-grade Mathematics proficiency rate was 87.5%, compared to the state average of 62.7%. Similarly, the 5th-grade Science proficiency rate was 81.3%, significantly higher than the state average of 66.2%. The school's exceptional performance extends to its African American, Hispanic, and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, who rank in the top 5%, top 10%, and top 10% of North Carolina elementary schools, respectively.

Doral Academy's diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 26.43% White, 34.23% African American, 21.62% Hispanic, 2.7% Asian, and 14.11% two or more races, is a key differentiating factor compared to many nearby schools in the Wake County Schools district, which tend to have more homogeneous student bodies. This diversity, combined with Doral Academy's consistently high academic performance and low student-teacher ratio of 13.6, make it a standout choice for parents in the Raleigh area, especially when compared to nearby schools like Rogers Lane Elementary, which struggles to meet state benchmarks.

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 This school advertises STEAM but only stages these photos for show. The administration is more worried about looks than providing a quality education. They are in over their heads and do not provide an equal opportunity school for children with special needs or from different backgrounds. 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.
