North Elementary has a higher percentage of White students (58.6%) compared to the surrounding schools, which have more diverse student populations. Academically, the school's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the state averages but higher than the Caswell County Schools district averages. For example, in 2023-2024, North Elementary's 3rd grade math proficiency rate was 44.2% compared to the state average of 62.7% and the district average of 42.9%.

While North Elementary's performance is generally lower than the state averages, it is often higher than the performance of other schools in the Caswell County Schools district, such as South Elementary and Stoney Creek Elementary. However, the school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past several years, from 587 out of 1,473 schools in 2018-2019 to 1,163 out of 1,505 schools in 2023-2024, suggesting that the school is struggling to keep up with the academic performance of other schools in the state.

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.
