Reeds Elementary

Summary:

Reeds Elementary is a public elementary school in Lexington, North Carolina, serving 266 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.

Reeds Elementary faces several challenges, including declining academic performance, with proficiency rates in mathematics and reading consistently below the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined over the years, from a high of 370 out of 1,429 North Carolina elementary schools in 2016-2017 to its current ranking of 1,047 out of 1,505 schools. Additionally, the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (88.72%) compared to the more diverse student populations of the surrounding schools, such as Southwood Elementary and Northwest Elementary.

Reeds Elementary also faces socioeconomic challenges, with a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 37.5% in 2021-2022 to 66.92% in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school is serving a growing population of economically disadvantaged students, which may be impacting its academic performance. Furthermore, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with wide gaps between female and male students, as well as white and non-white students. To address these issues, the school and the Davidson County Schools district may need to implement targeted interventions, explore best practices from higher-performing schools in the area, and address the underlying factors contributing to the school's struggles.

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.
