Patriots Elementary

Summary:

Patriots Elementary is a public magnet elementary school located in Concord, North Carolina, serving grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 901 students. The school is part of the Cabarrus County Schools district, which is ranked 75 out of 242 districts in North Carolina and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Patriots Elementary consistently ranks among the top 25% of elementary schools in North Carolina, with a diverse student population that includes 36.63% White, 25.64% African American, 17.54% Hispanic, 13.21% Asian, and 5.88% two or more races. The school's academic performance is generally higher than the Cabarrus County and North Carolina averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with 73.8% of 3rd graders, 62.9% of 4th graders, and 55.9% of 5th graders proficient or better in reading, compared to the state averages of 48.7%, 52.8%, and 50.3%, respectively. Patriots Elementary also performs well across various student subgroups, with high rankings for Asian, African American, and disabled students compared to other North Carolina elementary schools.

While Patriots Elementary outperforms the Cabarrus County and North Carolina averages, some nearby schools, such as Hickory Ridge Elementary and Harrisburg Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance. This suggests that the Cabarrus County school district as a whole is providing quality educational opportunities. However, the increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Patriots Elementary, from 19.02% in 2021-2022 to 37.18% in 2022-2023, indicates a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may require the school to adapt its strategies and resources to ensure these students receive the support they need to succeed academically.

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.
