Summit Creek Academy

Summary:

Summit Creek Academy is a public charter elementary school in Browns Summit, North Carolina, serving 560 students from kindergarten to 7th grade. The school is part of the Guilford County Schools district, which is ranked 146 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Summit Creek Academy faces several challenges, including lower overall academic performance compared to the state and nearby schools. The school's 3rd-grade math proficiency rate was 48.6% in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 62.7%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students generally performing better than the school's overall average, while White and Special Education students perform significantly worse. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to address these disparities. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (72.5%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage among the student population.

While Summit Creek Academy's performance is generally lower than the state and nearby school averages, some nearby schools, such as Gate City Charter and Aggie Academy, have shown stronger academic performance, particularly in math and reading proficiency rates. This highlights the need for Summit Creek Academy to implement targeted strategies and interventions to improve student outcomes and address the unique needs of 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.
