Collettsville School consistently performs above the Caldwell County Schools and North Carolina state averages in mathematics and science proficiency, with 5th grade science proficiency at 78% compared to 62.9% for the district and 66.2% for the state. However, the school's reading proficiency tends to be lower than the district and state averages, particularly in the lower grades. While the school's White students have relatively low rankings compared to other schools in the state, its low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform better, ranking in the top third of North Carolina elementary schools. The school's gifted and talented students have also performed well, ranking in the top 20% of the state in 2018-2019.

Collettsville School has seen a relatively stable student population, with a slight decrease in enrollment over the past few years, and its racial composition has remained predominantly White. The school's per-student spending of $9,454 in 2018-2019 was slightly lower than the district average, and it has maintained a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.1 to 15.4 in recent years. These factors suggest that the school is efficiently utilizing its resources, which could be a model for other schools in the Caldwell County Schools district.

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.
