Churchland Elementary

Summary:

Churchland Elementary is a public elementary school in Lexington, North Carolina, serving 395 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Davidson County Schools district, which is ranked 100 out of 242 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating.

Churchland Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of white students (76.96%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have more diverse student populations. However, the school's test scores, particularly in mathematics, are generally lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 59.5% of 3rd-grade students at Churchland were proficient or better in EOG Mathematics, compared to 66.5% for the district and 62.7% for the state. Additionally, Churchland has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 45.02% to 70.38% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than surrounding schools.

Churchland Elementary's performance has been declining over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from 617 out of 1,390 North Carolina elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 1,065 out of 1,502 in 2022-2023. The school's struggles are particularly evident in the performance of its Hispanic and White student subgroups, which rank in the bottom quartile of North Carolina elementary schools. When compared to nearby schools, such as Reeds Elementary and Tyro Elementary, both in the Davidson County Schools district, Churchland Elementary generally underperforms on state assessments, especially in mathematics.

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.
