Summary:

Charles H Tuttle Elementary is a public elementary school in Maiden, North Carolina, serving 412 students in grades K-6 and part of the Catawba County Schools district.

Charles H Tuttle Elementary stands out for its strong academic performance, particularly in mathematics and science. The school consistently outperforms the Catawba County Schools district and the state of North Carolina in mathematics proficiency, with rates ranging from 64.4% to 67.8% in 2023-2024, compared to the district's 61% to 65% and the state's 54.3% to 62.7%. In 5th grade science, the school's proficiency rate of 67.8% was higher than the district's 71.3% and the state's 66.2%. However, the school's reading proficiency rates, while generally higher than the district and state averages, are not as significantly differentiated as in mathematics.

The school's performance for Hispanic students is particularly strong, ranking among the top 10-15% of North Carolina elementary schools, but its performance for White students, special education, and low-socioeconomic status students is relatively lower, ranking in the bottom 25-40% of the state. The school's overall statewide ranking has fluctuated over the years, suggesting that factors beyond just academic achievement may be at play. While Charles H Tuttle Elementary outperforms many local schools, it lags behind the highly-ranked Rock Springs Elementary in the Lincoln 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.
