N L Dillard Middle

Summary:

N L Dillard Middle is a public middle school located in Yanceyville, North Carolina, serving around 500 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Caswell County Schools district, which is ranked 226 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

N L Dillard Middle consistently ranks in the bottom quartile of North Carolina middle schools, with a statewide ranking between 565-721 out of 741-793 schools over the past 10 years. The school's performance on state standardized tests is significantly below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. However, the student population at N L Dillard Middle is more racially diverse than the nearby Western Alamance Middle and Reidsville Middle, with a higher percentage of African American (37.6%) and Hispanic (7.8%) students. Additionally, N L Dillard Middle has a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 71% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, significantly higher than the nearby schools.

Despite the relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16.2-17.1 at N L Dillard Middle, the consistently low academic performance and 1-star rating from SchoolDigger suggest that the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students. The data also shows significant achievement gaps between different racial groups, with Hispanic students outperforming African American and White students. These challenges, coupled with the high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, indicate that the district and school leadership need to implement comprehensive strategies to address these issues and improve outcomes for all students at N L Dillard Middle.

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.
